The Three Bridges

I joined the weekday NYC USK outing at the South Street Seaport venue yesterday.  As soon as the show and tell for the morning program concluded, there were several of us that stayed on to do more sketching in the afternoon.  

 Julie & Shawne suggested to sketch at the other side of Pier 17 where a fantastic view of the three bridges - Manhattan Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge, and Brooklyn Bridge - are in full display.  Not to mention the convenient restroom nearby and plenty of shaded areas to choose from.  

 We also met Dewey, an architect from South Carolina, who also is an Urban Sketcher.  All four of us gathered at this one spot and sketched the same scene.  You know that nothing will be interpreted and sketched the same way even though you're all looking at the same view, right?

    It was fun to see the different interpretations of the same scene that Julie, Shawne, and you posted. Nicely done!

      Yes, it was fun to see them on FB. If you think of camera lens, Julie’s is the 50mm, Shawne’s is the 100mm and mine is the 24mm. Very interesting! Thank you Joan!
