Waiting for the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue in the early morning.

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a Monday morning. This person was reading a book!

A few more incompletes from last week's rides on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue.

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue at noon. Fewer people = more time to sketch uninterrupted.

Unfinished sketches from the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue. It only takes one passenger to block my view...

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue in the PM. Something is off with this drawing (head is too narrow), not the person...

Some people have opted for their lighter jackets already. They remain all covered up on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue to regain their body heat.

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a Tuesday morning while reading a book! I did not have the time to draw the book.

Mondays in the early morning can be very difficult on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue.

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue. The weekend is almost here...

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue in the morning during peak hour. I did not manage to get too far with this one either....

Amazing use of color!

During rush hour on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue, I do not even have the time to set up a drawing. People keep stepping between me and my models.

Just back from a vacation, and waiting for the train on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue.

Waiting for the train, on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue.

There may have been a language barrier involved in our communication (it was a Chinese couple in their 60s (at the very least), but it was still funny in a weird (and quite dated) way.

Today I was caught... I was drawing this woman (on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue of course), and her husband saw me, and came over to me to ask me to stop, because she was 'his wife' and this was 'personal'.

When I step into a stand of trees, something ancient and wordless takes over and the weight I sometimes carry lightens. mixed media - pen, aquarelle pencils, gouache #ForestFriday #scape #pleinair #art #painting #mixedmedia #trees #forest #nature

Welcome to Sucker Punch Spring

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue in the morning. In all the other places I have lived, spring has been wonderful. Here we get slush, freezing-rain (it is a thing) and power outages - in this order. However, winter, summer and fall are wonderful!

Algunos sketches rápidos del finde.

Starting intently at a phone while riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MintréalLigneBleue. I was sitting across for this person, and he no did he look up from his phone at all - this gave me 15 full minutes to complete the sketch. The person sitting next to me was suggesting corrections throughout.

Snoozing on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue in the AM - she gave me enough to finish this portrait.

A class on drawing lemurs over @artistinresidence.co I've been working through the alphabet each week - two letters at a time. This one - M & N - Madagascar and Night. The series has all been about brainstorming A -> Z to produce drawing ideas. It works! #drawing #artclass #lemur #sciart #arttutor

Person riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue, and realizing that some weirdo is sketching them. I have been careless lately, starting at people too intently.

A Pokemon aficionado riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue.

Riding the #MpntrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a cold weekday morning. The size of the hood is not exaggerated; the hoods of most winter jackets are large enough to accommodate tuques, headphones, earmuffs, headbands. or whatever else is necessary to keep people warm.

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a Monday morning. I did not have the time to draw the phone in her hands...

Starting at a phone on a Thursday morning on the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue.

Unfinished afternoon sketches. I have to time my commutes more carefully. During rush hour, the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue is too crowded, and it is impossible to complete a single sketch.

Riding the #MontrealBlueLine #MontréalLigneBleue on a Friday morning. I had 10-15 minutes to focus on this person - getting to the Metro around 9:00AM has advantages (more sleep + less people moving around so that I can have a clear view of other riders...)
