Sketchbook Skool sketching buddy

Had a wonderful afternoon sketching and drinking in the sunshine in Collingwood with Martie Barth (sorry can't tag you). This is the first time I have ever sketched with someone else. It was so very lovely. In fact, it was so much fun we have made plans to do it again! We decided on the town of Collingwood because it is an hour drive for us both (she from the west and me from the east). Collingwood is located on Georgian Bay and was once a vibrant ship-building town until 1986. They built lake freighters that were narrow enough to go through the locks on the St. Lawrence Seaway.  We picked a spot with a view of the harbour lands just tucked in behind the grain elevator (this is the rear view). Very nice listening to the seagulls while drawing and painting!
