| The Group |
There was a good turnout for the Saturday trip to Sawyer Yards. Judith picked the spot for the many architectural subjects and the raking light and shadows- especially on the silos. So, we have an interesting study in all the ways you can draw those silos.

| Peter's sketch |
Peter concentrated on the deep shadows.
 |
| Mary's sketch |
Mary used a water-soluble graphite pencil and included some interesting scale achieved by including the trucks and small buildings below.
 |
| Susan and Joel |
Susan and Joel both chose watercolor for their sketches, but the mood couldn't be more different.
 |
| Gwynne's sketch |
 |
| Jenn's sketch |
New sketchers Gwynne and Jenn were more interested in the large crane at work and some of the side buildings.
 |
| Carlos's sketch |
Carlos's approach was to sit in one spot and first sketch in one direction, then turn and sketch the opposite view.
 |
| Fahmi's sketch |
Fahmi went around to the other side of the Winter Street building and her sketch shows all the new construction in the neighborhood.
Francisco got a slice of the same view from the railroad crossing. Mary walked along the mural wall in Art Alley and found some artists at work.

And Judith ran into the classic sketcher's problem. What do you do when you have your scene started and along comes a large van? She worked it out.
Robert is responsible for this month's blog header. Then he turned around and blocked in some simple marker shapes to show all the construction.
Finally the throwdown.
Lots of challenges in this month's sketchout. Please share the blog with anyone who you mind think would be interested. Everyone is welcome. We will continue outdoor sketching until the weather gets warm, then look for less crowded indoor venues.
