Even though I was the one who had suggested the Frye Art Museum as the location for the 46th quarterly World Wide SketchCrawl, I have to admit I wasn’t very inspired. Not that the art wasn’t interesting – some of it was – but I found most of it to be unsketchable. In addition, some of us pen sketchers felt constrained by the museum’s media restrictions. I made a valiant attempt at capturing a cage-like structure made of bamboo, part of Jessica Kenney’s exhibit, “Anchor Zero,” with colored pencils.

A small but enthusiastic group of Seattle Urban Sketchers gathered in the foyer to share sketches. We barely got a group photo taken before we were shushed – a tour had just begun! Welcome to new members Magdalena and Ryan!
Yes, I agree -- I would have joined you all today but I'd been to the Frye fairly recently (though before the new exhibit opened) and also found it hard to find anything to sketch there. I went on a warm sunny day, so like you, I went outside and sketched St. James instead. A much more satisfying subject, and you did a fine job on rendering it. Hope to see the group again in February!
