Atlanta, GA - 37th WW SketchCrawl!
Posted: Mon Sep 10, 2012 2:18 pm
The next World Wide SketchCrawl is scheduled for October 13! Atlanta's weather should be just about perfect for out-and-about sketching without risk of heatstroke. To get this SketchCrawl started I'll throw out a suggestion for a location/route, please post your thoughts and alternative ideas and join in on October 13.
The 2012 Beltline Lantern Parade was held Saturday night, September 8, on the Eastside Trail of the Beltline (between DeKalb Ave and Piedmont Park). It was quite a spectacle! One of the best parts was seeing old industrial Atlanta illuminated by so many colorful lanterns. This section would be a great place for people- or architectural-sketching. It's easily accessible and almost completely paved so bring your bike. Some of the sketch-worthy features include City Hall East, the Ford Factory Lofts, great views of the skyline and city streets from above, circa 1906 bridges with lots of rivets, old cotton packing facilities now turned into artist studios, the Irwin Street Tower, a skatepark full of kids, and art installations all along the way. Debora and I did some sketching reconnaissance on Sunday; I'll definitely be going back.
Here's a map and info about the Eastside Trail.
