Last Thursday, the weekday NYC Urban Sketchers group met at the Christopher Street Pier for two hours of sketching. Around 12:30pm everyone gathered at this cool and shaded spot near Pier 46 where everyone took turns to show what they sketched that morning. We even had three out-of-town visitors/guests from Vermont, from China, and from Austria!
After the sketch meet, there were a few of us who lingered awhile. I did a sketch of the Pier 46 jutting out to the Hudson River. A faint view of the Lackawanna Terminal, Hoboken, NJ can be seen directly across in the distance.
Nicely done! I wish it was quicker and easier to get to the city from here.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joan. I know what you mean but you've been busy anyway. Maybe next time.
DeleteLovely work, Mel! That's one of my favorite places in the city to paint!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie. No wonder, It's a nice section of the city. Peaceful almost and varied views of the city to choose from. Next time, I would head out to the end of the pier, look toward the north east direction and sketch the midtown manhattan with the Empire State Bldg in the view.
