I also got the chance to go sketching with Maury in the city this week when I went over to pick up some of his work for the show. There is a great little park by the Five Point Cafe that has interesting views of the Space Needle and the Monorail. We did some drawings of the Chief Seattle commemorationIn 1912, local sculptor James Wehn created this magnificent, meticulously researched statue of Chief Seattle. Myrtle Loughery, the chief's great-great granddaughter, unveiled it on Founder's Day, November 13, 1912. Renovated in 1975, the Chief Seattle sculpture today presides over Tilikum Place, a small square at the intersection of Fifth Avenue, Denny Way, and Cedar Street, near the southeastern corner of the Seattle Center.
The drawing was done with water soluble graphite pencil. I like these better than the WS pens I was working with before. One of the little water brushes packs easily and works great to soften edges.
