Very good timing too. Jesse Richards hosts the most fabulous sketching group in Manhattan - the Central Park Sketching Group. http://www.meetup.com/sketching/
Today he took us to the Bramble in Central Park. There were a little under 50 of us there. It was nice and shady with beautiful views of the lake and the New York City skyline. Everybody chose their favorite sketching spots. It was so good to get out again and sketch.
Here are some of mine.
All these are graphite pencil on 3"x5" white bond.
1. An overpass arch - it looked like an aqueduct. I like architecture. There's something about perspective and straight lines that draw me in.
2. The skyline of Central Park South (I think). This one was a bit tougher. I just noticed that this area has a large preponderance of eraser head buildings, especially in the South. It must be the 60s architecture.
3. Bethesda Fountain. I've done this one so many times but never the whole chaotic scene. I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out.
