Sketching at Omand Creek

A theme is emerging with our sketching .... we are interested in sketching and painting the creeks inside the city of Winnipeg. This morning at 8:30, we headed to Omand Creek. There was a bit of wind but once we were down by the creek, we were completely sheltered. The temperature was hovering just above zero so we were able to spend at least 20 - 30 minutes sketching in each location we chose. The first view of the creek had some open water which made it interesting along with the grasses poking through the snow. The second view of the creek,  which we sketched from a little footbridge,  was interesting because of the meandering shape the creek took.
We don't find it quite warm enough to break out our paints, but I did use water today to move my LAMY ink around on my sketch. It was very serene and peaceful and it felt like this was the perfect place to be on this early morning. Below are some photos of the two views we sketched and a photo of the ink sketch that I did.
