I thought the crowds would be a problem in finding a bit of space to settle and sketch but it turned out not to be the problem I had anticipated. I focused on the steam engine SP and P 700 (Spokane, Portland and Seattle 700) in this head on view. This was a favorite spot for picture taking!

And then moved to a view of the whole scene from the pedestrian bridge over the tracks.

Later I found a spot to get a little more up close and personal to these two very bright train cars.

There was so much activity...... the world of trains and train aficionados. Some miniature and some full scale, everyone seemed to have an interest in being there!
These are all terrific, Deb, but the view from the view from the pedestrian bridge is incredible! You got in bridges and I think even a MAX train on the left. Am I right? The colors on the bottom train cars are stunning. Love that color combination. So glad you made it out for this.
ReplyDeleteA couple of great sketches here. I agree with Vicky, the panorama from the pedestrian bridge is awesome! Great use of the medium!
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful Deb...each one illustrating a different technique! I also love the panorama...it has everything, including great depth!
ReplyDeleteThank you Vicky, Marco and Linda for your awesome comments. I was so happy to be out and about with the sketchers at Union Station.....! It was fun.
