Between
the weather and peak blooming, timing an Urban Sketchers Seattle sketch outing
at the University of Washington Quad is a tricky matter. Today we hit it
just right: While the cherry blossoms weren’t quite at 100 percent, they were
close enough, and the sunshine on a cool morning was a bonus.
Roy DeLeon invited me and three other
sketchers to participate in a 360-degree sketch. The only other time I’ve done that
was at the downtown library a few
months ago, and it was a lot of fun, so I came armed with my panorama landscape
sketchbook. As expected, hundreds of people milled about, enjoying the magical,
ethereal blossoms, and some – like the three ladies in the foreground of my
sketch – were having a traditional hanami picnic under the clouds of sakura
trees.
Here
are my fellow 360 sketchers, and below are our circle of sketches (though I see
now that I got one in the wrong sequence).
