Worldwide SketchCrawl - Sketching my commute

I love the view from the new bike/pedestrian path on the Morrison Bridge, especially since I get to enjoy it every day while walking to work. All those days, I have to keep going instead of stopping to draw, so it was a relief to finally get this chance to stop and record the view.

The Waterfront, of course, is full of great views for sketching - this is the view looking down from the bridge.

After our first meet-up, I sketched the meet-up location - Morningstar Cafe at SW 3rd & Washington - from the parking lot across the street. There are so many lovely buildings in downtown Portland, and I only managed to get started on the bottom of these ones!

    You really captured the feel of that part of Portland, Kalina. It was fun to meet you. Hope to see you next time.

    Kalina, your sketches are wonderful! You nailed the perspective on the view of the waterfront from the bridge--it almost makes me dizzy to look at it!

    Bill - I enjoyed meeting you too, and loved seeing your work. Also, we should totally do a sketchcrawl up at OHSU sometime as you suggested on the google map :-)

    Janene - thanks!

    Beautiful! I do not sketch, I click the streets. Yet there's a certain kinship that I feel with your eye! :)
