Urban Sketching at the Belfast Rail Station

Belfast has an old railway station graveyard at City Point with rail cars and buildings from the Belfast and Moosehead Lake Railroad. I spent a few mornings creating watercolor sketches. I love the vintage cabooses sitting amongst the flowers.

Urban Sketching in Belfast Maine

Early July in mid-coast Maine is beautiful and the weather is still cool enough for a jacket on the early morning dog walks. Belfast Harbor has a walkway along the waterfront and a historic downtown filled with gothic buildings and painted brick businesses. Sketching each scene gives me a sort of visual diary while making me take a moment to actually see what is around me. Sometimes my drawings are done on site and then I fill in with watercolors at home. Here are a few of my very loose ink and watercolor sketches of the area.
