Sketch crawl for DC?
Posted: Wed Jun 28, 2006 1:27 pm
Hoping to get a group together for Washington, DC this Saturday. The weatherman says the rain may stop by then! I am thinking of a sketchcrawl starting at a metro stop,say Dupont Circle, and then maybe a couple other metro stops. Or maybe start at Union Station and hit a few stops on the way to Duport Circle? We could start at any stop and end at any metro stop, even returning if we want.
Sketching ideas are to get some views of the city at each stop. Could be buildings, plants, people, whatever. I have one warm up drawing idea which is going to sound silly. I figure we can draw each others feet / shoes for 5 minutes. Just a thought. Another idea was to have everyone form a circle, facing each others back. And then sketch the scene of the other artists back as they stand in front of you. So each artist would create a sketch of the back of someone and the city view beyond them. OK, I've never done this so I am looking for ideas.
If you are interested let me know. If you have a few choices for a crawl route, please post more than one.
My quickie flexible list is:
Meet at Dupont Circle, 1000 am Saturday. Sketch 30 minutes.
Proceed to next stop more sketching
etc..
End at Union Station or Smithsonian Station final sketch stop.
Or start at any other time at any metro stop and end at any other metro stop.
Let me know if you are interested.
