In the nearly three years since I’ve been sketching, I’d
never sketched in Pioneer Square,
the birthplace of Seattle and a must-see for most visitors. It was high time –
and the ad hoc Friday sketchers couldn’t have asked for a sunnier morning to meet
at this quintessential Seattle location.

Although it’s been done and overdone by many sketchers and artists, I couldn’t resist sketching
the Victorian wrought iron Pergola, Pioneer Square’s most iconic structure.
Next I sketched the bust of Chief Seattle, our city’s namesake. Both have been in
Pioneer Square Park since 1909.
With the historical icons taken care of, I spent the rest of
the morning sketching my favorite subject – buskers!
Welcome to several sketchers who joined Seattle USk today for the first time, including Yan, an active Singapore Urban Sketcher!

You did a wonderful job on that pergola!!! Love the sketches of the buskers too! Looks like you had a busy day of sketching.
