Sketch Crawl

During our time spent in Seattle, Washington we were able to visit Seattle City Center. In the Seattle City Center we met up with Urban Sketchers who allowed us to go out and explore the area and chose an area or subject to sketch. After sketching for an hour we all met back up and the Urban Sketchers gave us some advice and tips on sketches. It was great to see everyone else’s sketches of the area and to kind of get a glance on how they view things.  Popular sketch choices consisted of the Space Needle and EMP Museum, I decided to sketch the Chihuly Garden and Glass. This exhibition displays beautiful art work by Dale Chihuly who is a master at blowing glass; he has been able to create enormous glass sculptures. From the outside of the exhibition you are able to see some of his sculptures through the large glass windows. For this reason I decided to sketch the front side of the building where you are able to look inside the windows at his artwork. I sketched the whole surrounding area from my view and wanted to make sure I was able to add some of his work into my sketching.
