11/9/18 Elliott Bay Book Co. |
Elliott Bay Book Company is one of Seattle’s last remaining
independent general book stores. With high ceilings and exposed beams, the
space invites settling in for a few hours of browsing thousands of books.
After strolling through the main floor, I headed up to the
loft-like upper level, where I found an interesting view of several sketchers
down below. I knew the perspective on the towering bookcases would be
challenging, so I worked carefully trying to get them right. I must have gotten
tired by the time I put in the back walls, though, and my perspective fell
apart!
Tucking my tail under, I went into the café for a snack, had a
nice chat with other sketchers, and made a non-challenging sketch (requiring no
perspectival study) of the café’s countertop. Any book store that sells pencils
right next to the coffee, scones and (delicious) biscuits is my kind of book
store.

Although the basement where readings are given was closed to the public, the manager allowed us to use the space for our throwdown. As always, we had a good turnout and welcomed a few new faces.
