JSMAC Sketchbook Collective: Urban Sketching

The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art was just nominated as the most beautiful building in Oregon by thrillist.com (https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/the-most-beautiful-building-in-every-state). Think about what building or space you find most interesting, and take a moment this week to recreate it in your sketchbook. Why do you like it there? What does it mean to you? What did you observe during this process that you never noticed before?

And just in case you’re super into drawing buildings, cityscapes, spaces and other architecture, this is a great book: The Art of Urban Sketching
