Weekend Sketching at Red Hook, NY

Left the apartment early Saturday morning to get to catch the 9:54am ferry to Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY.  It felt like the last NYC USk outing we did here several years ago.  The ferry landing now is further away by 8 blocks from where it was before.  There were six of us in our group who made this schedule and met up with others who got to the venue by other transport means.

The social club building on Reed Street was fun to sketch.  It has all these nautical pieces bolted on the front side as well as an old Lincoln car that seem to have been sitting there for years.  I spent most of the morning sketching this on a pre-marked page of my sketchbook.  By 1:00 pm, we all headed down to meet up with other sketchers and friends who were there to see the BWAC Exhibit.  Four USk friends are actually exhibiting their works so it was nice to see them there.

The pen and ink sketch of the old Red Hook Dock was done in the afternoon an hour before we did the show and tell.  It was just the perfect day to be there!
