An Urban Sketching Event at the Burke

Urban Sketchers Seattle enjoyed sketching at the Burke Museum so much in March that we went back for more. This time we were invited by the Burke to create an event that would encourage other visitors to sketch at the museum, too. The Burke provided sketching materials and a clothespin line where participants could hang their work.

It was tough competing with 65 degrees and sunshine outside, but the museum managed to entice a few visitors indoors. We all found new artifacts to sketch, and Kay was especially enthusiastic in encouraging young sketchers to participate.
