| 7/27/24 South Lake Union Saturday Market |
In the heart of South Lake Union, the SLU Saturday Market is
in the shadow of Seattle’s newest skyscrapers while also enjoying Denny Park’s oasis of trees. USk Seattle had the benefit of both – shiny, glassy architecture
(for those who like to sketch that) and plenty of shade.
I sketched a page of the market activity itself (the colorful entrance flags were a popular subject for many sketchers that day) and another page of thumbnails of the new skyline.

For lunch, I had garlic pancit bihon from 88 Cues, a Filipino food truck. I scarfed it down too fast to sketch, but I slowed down enough to sketch my turon, which is a banana-based dessert lumpia sprinkled with sesame seeds and tiny orange flower petals.

New to USk Seattle, the SLU Saturday Market offers a fun mix of urban glass and steel, local produce and flea market fashions. We’ll be back!

Ooo, I thought the blue sketchbook paper was my favorite but that orange makes for a super background for those sketches. Maybe it's the heat of summer that makes it look so right.
ReplyDeleteBesides the great hue, that orange is the ideal midtone between black and white!
DeleteThis looks like a fun location to sketch. I like the modern buildings against the fun booths of the market. You always have such interesting foods to sketch.
ReplyDeleteI would have even more interesting foods to sketch if I weren't always too hungry to sketch them! ;-)
