My friends Anna and Marie recently informed me of a Disney Exhibit (Behind the Magic - 50 Years of Disneyland) held at the Oakland Museum. It was a nice informative exhibit, with tons of enlarged photos, concept art and early video footage of Walt...but there were so many people...there was not enough room to sketch. I think we spent a good 2 hours in here.
There are several other good exhibits like the "San Francisco Earthquake" and "Walk across California". This particular sketch was from the "Gallery of California Art". With 20 minutes until closing, I was not satisfied with results. So I totally re-sketched it at a coffee shop later that night.

Lovely sketch!!
Way to go Gerald. This is a cool sketch!
hi gerald! thank you very much for your kind words! I really appreciate them! I really dig your sketchbook as well. I like how you use the grey and black to block out shapes. Keep up the good work! Btw, I have an art show this saturday in Chinatown SF, let me know if you'd like to come! thanks!

Thanks for still checkin' in from time to time. Your sketchbook is looking great! Wished i couldve check out those exhibits too.
beautiful sketch man, i'm digging all your life drawings.
Hey Man
Thanks for the comments. Dude, I've been looking at your stuff for a while now (I want to say at least a year). It's too good. I used to sketch a lot, so it's amazing to see someone like you who just makes it part of his daily life. I have a few sketches on my blog - the titles are "Honeymoon sketches". It would be cool if you checked them out some time. Your watercolour technique is amazing, too. Too good, man. Take care.
Awesome sketch!!!!
I really love your watercolor sketches! Great blog! Thanks for stopping by mine :)
Very cool blog! A lot of awesome sketches and interesting art. I really enjoyed your photo blog as well. Nice compositions and good story telling images.
I'll be back!:)

That's a really nice sketch, and impressive use of watercolor.
Just fell in love with your sketches.
Gerald, this is really nice. I'm having to do a similar watercolor/sketch of a statue for one of my clients. I'm a little nervous. Can you offer any advice?
