Last Saturday the NYC Urban Sketchers were meeting at the Brooklyn Museum. My friend and I like to get an early start from out here and the museum didn't open until 11. But right next door is the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (how lucky) and they open at 10. So we headed to the garden and had time for a quick 30 minute sketch of one of the indoor exhibits in the greenhouse. I did this directly in watercolors.
Outside the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens looked much different than when we usually visit in the spring. We had snow the day before. Here is the Japanese pond...the snowy version.
What a lush, tropical feel this piece has!! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteSherry, luckily the gardens have a few nice, warm, tropical rooms when there is snow outside. Thanks!
DeleteLove how you take advantage of what is available. Nice sketch and the gardens are beautiful with or without snow.
ReplyDeleteI like the contrast of the snow and the red structure. Thanks, Nelvia!
DeleteThe contrast with these two photos is super - flowers versus snow. It is great that you have the different scenes to pick from. Have a great day Joan.
ReplyDeleteVal, thanks! We had a good day of sketching. This was just the beginning.
DeleteSimply GORGEOUS!
