6/15/25 Fremont
Last Sunday was one of those days I think of as ideal
sketching weather: Not cold, not hot, not windy and perfectly blue-sky sunny! Anticipating
good sketching with USk, I arrived early in Fremont to take advantage of the
Sunday Market for lunch. Then I spent most of the afternoon sketching on the
shore of the Lake Washington Ship Canal and the Fremont Bridge.

When I started running out of steam, I headed back to the Market for an espresso shave ice to perk me up. Along the way, I spotted a strange view: A rig hauling a huge covered boat was trying to squeeze past a barricaded construction area. The driver got out several times to rearrange the cones. It was a hasty sketch, but it was too tempting to pass up.
For a sunny Sunday afternoon, our turnout was relatively light, but it was also Father’s Day, so I’m guessing some sketchers were busy with family. On the other hand, one first-time participant brought his whole family: He had requested the USk outing as his Father’s Day celebration! They all sketched along with him. Hearing that made my day!
You did a lot of sketching and had a good crowd. My favorite is the bridge in the open position. I'm usually sitting on the road in the wrong position to sketch that!
ReplyDeleteI started sketching it closed, and suddenly it started opening! But luckily my sketch was at a state where I could quickly change the angle and catch it midway open! That was so lucky!
