After Gabi finished leading a group through the show, there
was a lull, so I found a wall to stand next to and began sketching one corner
of the exhibit. A short time later, the next wave of visitors came through, so
I added people to the sketch. Eventually so many people were there that I could
no longer see much of the corner. But at the same time, many curious people
stopped to chat and asked me about Urban Sketchers or about my clipped-on watercolor kit. “How long
have you been sketching?” “Do you always stand while sketching?” “Where did you
get that interesting brush?” I’m so used to everyone ignoring me when I sketch
in public that it was a fun novelty to engage in so many conversations. It’s so
exciting that Gabi’s exhibit is raising awareness of urban sketching!
Many thanks to MOHAI and Gabi for inviting us last night!
Love the sketch and that you were able to capture so much before the crowds made it impossible. I think it sounds like a great exhibit and is an important way of teaching the public about urban sketching. Too bad the exhibit isn't closer to NY.
