The Brooklyn Bridge Park
Last weekend, the NYC Urban Sketchers spent a day of sketching at the Brooklyn Bridge Park where the views all around was just amazing. You add to that a nice spring-like weather and voila! - everybody's happy! Except that the warm temperature didn't last long. It was a false spring day. By noontime the winds picked up and turned cold and the grey clouds covered the sun. I did a sketch of the Jane's Carousel and the East River view looking toward the northern direction.

Love both sketches! I'm sure it was a lot less crazy down there than when we are usually there. Are you going to color the carousel? Were you there early enough that it wasn't moving? (My favorite time to sketch a carousel.) We had the same changing weather in Sea Cliff.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan - Yes and yes...I was there early enough that the carousel wasn't moving yet and the only way I could get a good look at it. Surely the weather change was abrupt!
