And, yes, this is a *painting of seaweed, and, no, my adventure won't be happening underwater, though it will probably feel like it. Orlando in August---need I say more?
I mentioned a while back that I'll be taking a reportage illustration workshop offered by Veronica Lawlor and Margaret Hurst, fellow Urban Sketchers correspondents, via their Dalvero Academy. Ronnie calls it 'drawing bootcamp,'--ten eight-hour+ days spent drawing on site at Disney World (!!!!). I fell in love with their powerful and immediate way of drawing energy, space, movement and I wanted to learn that technique to see what would become of it, Laurelined! Well, the time has come. I leave Sunday the 9th, return August 20th. I 'll have my computer and digital camera, so I should be able to post some journal pages while there.
I reckon that orlando in august is one of the best places and times to be.there are so many things to do there during that time. great post, it seemes like you had a great time.all the best.

Saw your lovely work in "Artful Blogging"! sooooo cool-- It was a great article! --although I don't think they did a great job of reproducing your work -- at least in the copy I read.
I'm loving the seaweed and the above post -- the first of your workshop illustrations -- very dynamic!

Oh what fun! Even though I'm afraid Disney World is my idea of hell on earth (he who must not be bored tells me I'm wrong!). I shall be very intrigued to see what you make of it and how the workshop "works" - it sounds absolutely fascinating!

Your seaweed would look wonderful on summery fabric.
Have fun at 'boot camp.'

How I'd love to be along on this trip, Laura!! The more sketches you post the happier we will all be. TEN DAYS - that's some sketchcrawl :)
Beautiful transparency in your seaweed.
