| 5/4/25 Fishermen's Terminal |
The first week of May is the annual international Urban Sketchers Week to help promote the activities of the community and local chapters. A new initiative this year was to pair local chapters and encourage them to share their sketches with each other virtually. USk Seattle was paired with USk Delhi, a large, active group whose members have been sharing daily on social media.
For our part, USk Seattle had a huge turnout at Fishermen’s Terminal, one of our perennial favorite locations and the site of our very first outing ever. We didn’t plan the outing to land on this date, but it happened to be the Terminal’s annual memorial service to honor people in the fishing industry who were lost at sea. I was happy to be able to capture that.
Although we were treated to lovely sunshine and a mostly clear sky, the wind was brisk and harsh at times. Still, there’s nothing like being part of the Urban Sketchers community, both worldwide and right here at home. Happy USk Week!
How great that you got paired with another chapter. I don't know if the NYC group was paired with anyone. I wasn't able to get to any of our meetups during the time frame, so I didn't even get to sketch with our group. Any sketches I did were done solo or in a small group. These are some of my favorites that you've done. I really like the dark blue on the light blue pages. It's very striking.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love the blue/blue combo, too! It was really fun sharing sketches with USk Delhi!
