| 4/19/18 6th & Lenora sketched in a 5 1/2" x 7" Field Notes notebook spread |
Whenever
I’m in the South Lake Union area, it’s hard to resist the Amazon Spheres. I’ve sketched them inside and out several
times, but I’m still not tired of them.
A
few days ago I met Gabi Campanario
for a working lunch (we’re both members of the USk Editorial Team) by the spheres. After the meeting I stood near the same spot where I sketched this scene while taking Gabi’s Pocket Urban Sketching workshop last
year. Before then, I’d always had difficulty viewing a vast scene like this
and fitting it all onto a small page. A couple of simple yet important tips – such
as using the vertical line of a building as a measuring unit to gauge the rest
of the composition – made the task far less intimidating. I still use those
tips every time I am faced with a scene like this.

It's so nice when someone gives you a tip that you can use over and over. Nice sketch!
