Семинар: Наброски сейчас, мысли потом
Looking for the perfect subject, angle, composition, materials and tools to use etc can take lots of time and bog you down even before you start sketching. This approach is to bring these down to the essentials of a few tools, few techniques and few approaches so you can enjoy what you like to do […]
A Church Reborn
[by Fred Lynch in Chelsea, Massachusetts] I met a man across the street from St. Rose Church on Broadway in Chelsea, Massachusetts, while drawing, who smiled when I told him that my grandfather was baptized in this church. With his Hispanic accent, he said that he was going into the church just now to prepare for […]
Chain Links
[by Fred Lynch in Chelsea, Massachusetts] Continuing on my sketchbook investigation of family history and immigration. It wasn’t long ago that I pictured my great grandparents facing the complete unknown when they came to America in the late 1800s and early 1900s. But my research has largely proved that wrong. The O’Connors and O’Keefes followed […]
You Must Ask
[by Fred Lynch in Chelsea, Massachusetts] Continuing on my sketchbook investigation of family history and immigration. Often when I’m drawing, I think I’m invisible. People usually treat me that way, too. People don’t tend to interact. Where the O’Connors lived in Chelsea, Massachusetts, in 1908, no one lives now. At the address is a car repair […]

[by Fred Lynch in Chelsea, Massachusetts] Continuing on my sketching journey of ancestry and immigration. This is the house where my grandfather James Victor O’Connor was born in 1904. He and his young family lived here in an apartment in Chelsea, Massachusetts, for a couple of years, and then moved around the corner. I’m noticing through […]
Потерянные и найденные иммигранты
[by Fred Lynch near Boston] Continuing on my sketching journey of ancestry and immigration. When investigating my long-gone immigrant ancestors, I often find more immigrants living in the same houses, and filling the same neighborhoods. In this American drama, the set remains the same – only the cast changes. In the small, crowded city of […]
Резина и огонь
[By Fred Lynch in Chelsea, Massachusetts] Continuing on my sketching journey of ancestry and immigration. The house where my great grandfather first lived in America is gone. It’s a parking lot now, overlooking the ramshackle remains of a once-booming rubber factory on the other side of the train tracks. As I drew the view from […]
Одаренный снова
[by Fred Lynch, near Boston] A few years ago, I gave a student of mine an extra sketcbook that I had. It had an accordian format that I didn’t have a use for. A year ot two later, in the mail, the sketchbook came back – filled with amazing sketches of her life after college […]
Таверна "Манро
[by Fred Lynch in Massachusetts] There have been a number of mild days this winter in Boston, including the snow-covered day on which I drew the historic Munroe Tavern in nearby Lexington. The old wooden building (built in 1735) played a role on the day of the Revolutionary War battles of Lexington and Concord. And, […]
