Saturday I planned to join the NYC Urban Sketchers at a location at The Forum at Columbia University in Harlem. My usual sketching partners from Long Island weren't going so I took the Long Island Railroad from Ronkonkoma to Penn Station, a ride that was about 1hr 30 min. The good part about taking the train is that I usually have time to complete a sketch on the way there.
Ronkonkoma is the first stop so I make sure to find a spot to sit where I am pretty sure I will have a good view of a few models. A lot of the people who board the train (at 8:07 AM) pick up breakfast for the ride in. Most of the passengers ride all the way to the city, so I had a lot of time to work on the sketch. A family got on and were seated across the aisle from me and facing me. There were a mom & dad and two daughters. The mom had the window seat that wasn't visible to me, but I did manage to sketch the two children and the dad.
I was finished before the train arrived at Penn Station.
Now I was ready for the subway ride up to 125th Street.
