We met yesterday in the historic district of Columbia City. There were many good sketching subjects within the main street and a block either side.
We had a sketcher join us from Taiwan as he was visiting his sister in Seattle. He couldn't stay for the throw down as she had to get back to work. There were a least two others who also left early. Maybe we should start taking a photo at the beginning, too?
Sketchers seemed to be arriving later than usual...perhaps it was the semi truck overturned on I-5! I waited at our meeting spot for an extra long time and did a sketch of the brunch crowd waiting to get into the restaurant. Done in the pocket Stillman & Birn Beta sketchbook.
After my second sketch on the corner, I walked a block away to sketch the door facade of Columbia School.
My favorite of the day is this sketch of a corner with an antique clock. I'd still wanted to stay fairly close to our meeting spot and this was just across the street.
No more sketchers appeared but I did meet an older couple with a baby in a stroller. She asked, "are you an Urban Sketcher". I think that's the first time I've gotten so specific a question. Turned out she lives on Vashon Island and had taken a workshop from one of USk Tacoma members, Darsie Beck!. I told her Tacoma was meeting the next day.
