Wade Oval - University Circle

Our last sketch outing starting at The Cleveland Botanical Gardens,

from the big oak in the middle of the oval you can see these Cleveland landmarks.

Museum and Waiting Room

I went to the Art Museum on Sunday and had a chance to check out their new galleries in the lower floor of the old building. It looks fantastic!! And the atrium is just an incredible space.

 

These four were done while waiting for a routine medical procedure yesterday. People in waiting rooms make for great sketching subjects and the lobby made for a fun perspective study.

Oberlin and the Art Museum

I had some time to kill in Oberlin a couple weekends ago and was ecstatic to find a spot to sketch Peters Hall, which features an observatory of all things! The next day I took some time to paint "The Thinker" which is situated in front of the Art Museum.

Museum of Art

We went to the Cleveland Museum of Art Saturday. I got there a little late, so I only got these three sketches done. The two pencil sketches are of marble sculptures, the watercolor is of a bronze.

Wade Lagoon

Met a new sketcher at Wade Lagoon (behind the Cleveland Museum of Art) today, and it was a great morning. She picked this location, behind the mermaid statue, and it was a great decision. I wouldn't have chosen it on my own. The sun was bright, but not unbearable. The temperature was warm, but mild. I was shocked on my way home to see that it was in the 90s, certainly didn't feel like it was.

It was fun to watch the geese play around. They certainly seem to have cliques that they like to stay in. Every once in a while, several would decide to fly low on the water, almost skipping/running on the water. But, there was one that just couldn't do it and kept taking a nose dive deep into the water. Poor guy.

Come Sketchcrawling, Sunday, July 31, 2011

Come sketching at the lagoon behind the Cleveland Museum of Art at 9am on Sunday, July 31, 2011. We'll meet near the side of the lagoon that is closest to the museum. If the weather is rainy, we'll post an update here very early Sunday morning. So, just check this blog out before you leave your house, or simply look out your windows.

All artistic levels are welcomed.

There is plenty of free parking on East Blvd. and MLKjr on either side of the lagoon. There is also free parking on Sunday at any meters you see around Wade Oval. If you would rather, there is a paid parking at the Cleveland Museum of Art, The Cleveland Botanical Garden, and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Bring snacks & water/juice/soda, so you can enjoy working on your sketches for most of the morning.

Post any questions or comments to this blog posting, and we'll answer ASAP for you. If you plan to come, it'd be great to post on this blog that you're going, that way, we know to expect you.

See you there!
