This first sketch was done at the Looff Carousel in downtown Riverfront Park. I wanted to (attempt) to capture the movement of both people and the horses. While sketching, I noticed that when the carousel goes its top speed, you no longer see the horses, but rather the core of the carousel is unmoving and has the most visible, stable lines.
The Garland theatre is a smaller icon of Spokane, and is very close to the neighborhoods I have lived in my whole life. One thing that attracted me to this location was the unique signage and interesting perspective of the theatre. I really enjoyed picking up small details that I had never noticed before, such as square teal insets in the storefront.
These two color variations of the same sketch were done across the street from The Flying Goat. This local restaurant utilizes a combination of materials, including wood and metal, which really added to the line styles of the sketch. The Flying Goat is bordered by unique landscaping to add privacy to the patio as well as emphasize the intimate scale.
My final sketch was drawn from the parking lot of St. Charles Catholic Church next to the Shadle Shopping Center. The sweeping and rounded roof lines proved to be a challenge for perspective, but one that I feel was taken on quite well. Although the building is very light in color, the sun setting from behind the church provided nice shadows and tonal value.
