Day one hundred and forty: When I move to Philadelphia, I’ll be living about three blocks from Rittenhouse Square. It’s an utterly charming park, and a perfect place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee. Today’s sketch is a study for an etching depicting the little glass gazebo that stands in the center of the wooded plaza. It’s not an absolutely accurate representation of the view, but captures a sense of what I saw there this morning. The composition started as a simple study, but I just kept filling in more and more details, and this is as far as I got. I’m quite happy with it. This is a drawing style that seems to work for me, and I think I’ll continue to explore sketching in this manner.
