| 11/16/19 Starbucks Reserve Roastery, Capitol Hill neighborhood |
Arriving
15 minutes early to our brunch reservation left me just enough time for a very quick
attempt at the Starbucks Reserve Roastery across the street. I’ve
sketched it at least a couple of times before (both in 2016), so
I chose a different angle.
Knowing
I had so little time, I tossed measuring of angles and perspective to the wind
and decided to approach the building the way I do short poses at life drawing:
as a gesture. How does this 1920s building hold itself against a skyline of
mostly glassy blue boxes (with more coming up behind it)? Where is its life and
character? I hope they come through, even with wonky perspective.
I like this. My eye got grabbed immediately by the 'R' then transitioned to the two traffic lights that look like somewhat abstract capital 'E's. Not sure if that was your intention but it is the wacky way my eye worked with this image and I like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Whatever you see is cool... though I probably don't get credit for planning it. ;-)
