More From Klyde Warren Park

More of the wonderful sketches from the sketchcrawl Saturday...

Urban Sketchers Texas

Saturday was a gorgeous day to be outside enjoying the sunshine and mild temperatures.  Wayne and I met the Urban Sketchers Texas in Dallas for a sketchcrawl at Klyde Warren Park.  It is a very unique park.  Just the fact that it was built over a busy highway is reason enough to visit the park but there is something for everyone to enjoy.  

I wish I had taken more photos of the park.  There were food trucks lined up along one side of the park offering a variety of good things to eat.  Tables and chairs are set up with great views of Dallas and the center of the park where young boys were playing football, the local animal shelter was trying to find forever homes for some very sweet dogs, and a religious group was singing and dancing.  Books and magazines are set out on shelves for visitors to sit and read while enjoying the outdoors.  The tree lined walkway is lovely and there is a wonderful area for young children to climb and slide and play together.

After sketching for about 2 hours it was time for the "throw down".  I love viewing everyone's sketchbooks and seeing the variety of styles, mediums and skill levels.  I always come away inspired and in awe of the talent represented.

 

 

This is my sketch.....

Then, finally it is time for the group photo.  We had a large turnout this month.  I am already looking forward to the next time!
