Yesterday the urban sketchers met at the Pike Place Market for the November sketchcrawl. We had about 12-15 people show up. Every one was bundled up with their fingerless gloves and jackets. It was very cold. I almost packed it in on my first sketch for a warmer location. But decided to get initial color on before going inside. The Market is under going renovation for seismic up grades. Despite some areas being screened out for work it really was the same market and most places were still open. The market is just getting started in hanging Holiday greenery as you can see from the sketch below.

I did two sketches. One in front of the main entry information kiosk looking toward the Public Market Center sign and clock. The second was in the market at the entry to Lowell's Cafe. Lowell's is an historic cafe in the market. It was where Tom Hanks and Rob Reiner ate lunch in a scene from the movie
Sleepless in Seattle. I didn't get a chance to put water color on the sketch. I will have to go back another time and splash on some color.
