SKETCH CRAWL AT SEATTLE CENTER

The last day of our amazing Seattle trip we met with a group called the Urban Sketchers at the Seattle Center. The Urban Sketchers are a nonprofit organization that develop educational programs to foster the art of on-location drawing. The mission of the Urban Sketchers is to raise the artistic, storytelling and educational value of location drawing, promoting its practice and connecting people around the world who draw on location where they live and travel. We were shown some amazing sketches done by Urban Sketchers and then tasked with creating our own sketches of the landmarks surrounding Seattle Center. After attempting to sketch the space needle for about an hour we met back up at the Armory for a critique with the Urban Sketchers. The advice that was given was to sketch as much as possible and sketch as quickly as possible.
