Saturday in Seattle with the Silver Mime

A few of the sketchers ended up at Pike Place Market on Saturday after our class at Seattle Architecture Foundation was canceled. As we were leaving the market, I spotted a guy with animal balloons all over his head and wanted to sketch him. Then I saw the silver mime across the street! Three of us sketched him as a crowd gathered round. Unlike Kris and Wendy, I didn't try to add color to my sketch while standing there with the whole world looking on. I don't even know how to balance a sketchbook and a palette in one hand while holding a brush with the other. Here are 2 of my 3 tries.

On the way home, I sat in the front seat and drew Barbara, our carpool driver, as we chatted. I love to draw curls.

Analytique

Six of us sketchers ventured to downtown Seattle early in the a.m. last Saturday for a class called 'Analytique.' It was canceled at the last minute so we made lemonade with our lemons. Breakfast and sketching at Pike's Place, then headed up to Capital Hill to Dick Blick for some supply shopping. Our group is a bit like herding cats! Too many distractions in busy downtown. All in all, it was a fun day and the sketchers are great to adventure with.

an·a·ly·tique–noun Architecture.

Wendy at Breakfast. She got to work immediately drawing the pillars on the lower level of the market.

As we were leaving the market I spotted a guy entirely covered with silver. He was a funky robot. I call him SilverMan.
