11/17/13 Platinum Carbon ink, watercolor |
After late-night birthday carousing (a concert I attended ended after 10
p.m. – long past my bedtime!), I arrived late at the Seattle Urban Sketchers
gathering at the University of Washington’s Botany Greenhouse. Fortunately, I’d
sketched there previously at an ad hoc sketchout, so I didn’t feel like I’d
missed as much. I’m glad I made it – what a great turnout!
With about 15 seconds to select a subject and less than 30
minutes to sketch, I chose a view of the Miriam S. Buddress Cactus and
Succulent Collection, where I had previously marveled at all the otherworldly
looking species. In my rush, I forgot to note the name of this tall, palm-like
succulent that looks like it needs to shave its legs.
