Hello Everyone,

L.A. Sketchcrawl group is going to visit our favorite sketching spot, Union Station! This railway station was built in 1939 and has a mix of Dutch Colonial Revival, Mission Revival and Streamline Moderne architecture styles. The group can also head out to Olvera Street across the street for more sketching and/or lunch.

======

Meet at:
Union Station
800 N Alameda St., Los Angeles, CA 90012*

Thanks for coming out to sketch together, everyone! I had to leave early and missed some of you, but here is a group photo of the day.

This is a quick sketch I did, with color added with watercolor later. I was fascinated by the big lamp and how the morning light was coming through the tall space with a high ceiling.
