With all those festive, colorful outfits in the photos
online, I figured the Hmong New Year Celebration would be a fun sketching opportunity. I put the call out for an
ad hoc sketch outing, and Anne joined me at the Seattle Center Armory, where we
weren’t disappointed. Fringe, neon colors, sparkling coin-like tassels and the
most amazing headgear!
Sitting in the audience of the main stage would have put me
too far away from the action, not to mention being blocked by lots of heads. So
I kept walking around until I found a spot at stage right, which gave me an
excellent view of most of the performers.
My only regret for the day was that I
didn’t bring more Zig markers. I used watercolors when I could, but I don’t
have anything in my paint box that would mix the right shades of hot pink and
neon green! (And yes, I do have plenty of markers in those colors that I almost never
get to use while urban sketching!)
Markers notwithstanding, Anne and I had fun comparing
sketches of all those great hats!
