Sketch Crawl 37 in NYC visited Barclay Arena, Atlantic Terminal and The Brooklyn Academy of Music. A great group of folks showed up to sketch, talk and have some fun.

What a day! Imagine arriving and seeing a planeload of sketchers from the University of Iowa! And then I got to meet an incredible group of incredible sketchers from the metro NY area and a visitor from Germany! I was so busy talking, and on overload, I didn;t get to complete any of my sketches. Barbara Streisand was performing at the Barclay Arena last night... wish I had a ticket, it would have made the day even more perfect.

Susan - Thanks for driving to Brooklyn to meet the group. You did a record number of sketches for you! I love the ink one of the Williamsburg Savings Bank and the panorama of the food vendors. Did you get rid of the hotdog and bbq port smells yet? lol

Richard - Thanks so much for organizing the location and taking such great photos. I really enjoyed joining the group yesterday.

To all the NYC sketchers I met yesterday, I had such a fun time. It was great to meet all of you!

Here are my sketches starting with the Williamsburg Savings Bank.

I finished a bit before we were moving to our second location so I used the time to sketch Suma painting.

Next I sketched the Sabrette hotdog cart, a very NYC image.

My final sketch is of a restaurant near the Brooklyn Academy of Music. I didn't finish it completely on site, I added a bit more color when I got home.

Hi Susan,
I thought you were from Long Island? What an exciting day! Did a plane load of sketchers REALLY show up? Your WIlliamsburg Bank building sketch is my favorite along with Joan's restaurant-bar final sketch.
Many good ones, and you all move so fast...
Thanks for checking out our Tallahasee Florida site and for your encouragement!

It was great to see old friends and make new ones at Saturday's crawl in Brooklyn! Here are my sketches from the day. Began with a few street scenes, featuring Atlantic Terminal and the Barclays Center:

Then, moved on with our group to the food/drink vendors and people on the street:

At lunchtime, I met up with my husband to eat at Ganso, a nearby restaurant that serves Japanese comfort food. I couldn't resist sketching the chefs at work in the glassed-in kitchen, on the back of one of their promotional postcards:

My husband and I then went off to Williamsburg for a bit on the G train to look at some vintage/antique shops. By the time we came back it was quite late so I believe the crawlers had already left BAM.

All in all, a very fun Sketchcrawl! Hope to see everyone again at the next one!

Nice ones! Very urban setting. I like all the traffic lights and American road signs.
