Kumi Matsukawa and I have been following each other
for years. I have many fond memories of sketching with her in Tokyo in 2015
and again in 2017 during the Chicago symposium. When I heard she would be
on this year’s Sketcher Fest roster as a guest artist and workshop
instructor, I jumped at the opportunity to be her assistant.
A couple of days before the official event began, Cathy and I took her to a few spots for some warmup sketching. Our original plans were thwarted by a power outage on some parts of the light rail, so we improvised and found places closer to home that I could easily drive to, such as the University of Washington campus (above).
When we couldn’t find parking at Gas Works Park, Kumi suggested that we simply stop at any street where the lake and urban stuff was visible, such as power lines and poles (a sketcher after my own heart).

We ended the fun day with dinner and beverages at Gasworks Brewing, which has a huge sunny patio. Bonus: I scored parking very close to this popular venue, which was mobbed. We even got a table without waiting!
