Return to Cameron Marketplace

 

Our group

It's always nice to have a good turnout for a repeat trip to any location. It's especially nice to see familiar faces. And, of course, we always welcome new sketchers and encourage them to bring friends.

The developers of the Cameron Marketplace took a cavernous space and divided it into unique shops using old boxcars. There's a lot to see.

Peter

Peter's sketch gives you some idea of the whole space and tackles that perspective.

Several sketchers hung around the coffee shop to people watch.

Others spread out and drew the various shops or the structure of the building itself.

Another group went out front and drew the building from the outside or drew the surroundings.

Susan

Susan - the view from Cameron looking downtown

Vivian- the bright red doors in back

Heather- looking across the street

Peter - Peter managed to capture both buildings

Jeff did a little of both outside and inside

Lisa was interested in the older building

Brittany was drawn to the bright red doors.

There were five of us who were drawn to the very complicated building sitting next door.

It was the original Maxwell House Coffee plant, but before that the front building was a Ford Motor assembly plant for Model T's. It was a difficult draw and we all took different approaches. You can see Shaw Dou's renditon in the header.

Monica went for loose watercolor and large shapes

Carlos painted wet-in-wet

Marie

Chris...I decided to concentrate on the tops of the structures

We convened for the throwdown at the back of the building.

And afterwards a group of us went to lunch at Mandola's Deli, an East End classic.
