Last Saturday, June 21st was SketchCrawl #19<\/a><\/p>\n

This time the location was decided to be Fort Point, San Francisco CA. (right under the Golden Gate bridge).<\/p>\n

It was great as always, really a time to remove oneself from the rush of every day life, and instead just enjoy the experience of being alive, an appreciation of everything around ourselves.<\/p>\n

I got to the location around noon and was surprised to find\u00a0a parking spot close to the fort\u00a0(where I typically park) and off I\u00a0went..\u00a0venture into the\u00a0Fort itself. \u00a0Once I got in I saw Enrico Casarosa<\/a>\u00a0and a few seconds later Ronnie del Carmen<\/a>. Finally got to meet Enrico in person \ud83d\ude42 we have been communicating via email\/chat for quite some time even though we both live and work close by.<\/p>\n

Since It was the first time I had the opportunity to go inside the\u00a0Fort, off I went\u00a0to explore. I was surprised\u00a0about the weather,\u00a0just some 20mins before I was sweating in Novato, CA.\u00a0and now I was\u00a0enjoying the cool weather\u00a0in this other location.<\/p>\n

Made it to the top of the Fort and decided to\u00a0get started. Below are the results:<\/p>\n

Quick watercolor of the outer bay<\/p>\n

\"San<\/p>\n

This time in addition to using the Niji watercolor brushes, I also brought with me a little water spray bottle, so\u00a0I could get the watercolor to flow more freely. Quite a change between the way the water looks in this sketch as opposed to the previous one I did last SketchCrawl.<\/p>\n

While still standing in the same location, just turning around towards the right the next subject was found.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is actually a minuature cannon that was inside of a case display within the Fort, all of the cannons apparently had the ability to be rotated in various different ways, something that never occurred to me. I wonder how many people took to move one of those around from side to side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then I got hungry, time to visit the Warming Hut, I thought that maybe this location would also be somewhat cold but it was the opposite, it was actually a lot warmer (quite frankly it felt nice after freezing at the Fort). They were quite a lot of groups engaged in their individual picnic’s and even a wedding was about to start\u00a0or had already taken place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I actually spent time going back and forth between the Warming Hut and the Fort, and while moving back and forth noticed a trail that went from the Warming Hut to the parking found next to the toll booths above. This sketch was done midway of that trail. There were a lot more trees visible but I didnt include them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The top portion of the Golden Gate was actually all I could see from where I was standing (still midway on that trail). There were a lot of plants (possibly rose bushes) on the side of the hill and on the background was the bridge.<\/p>\n

The second sketch on this page, was my last trip to the Fort rooftop, this time wearing a jacket. I wanted to do a quick sketch of San Francisco from that location.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As mentioned before this was a lot of fun, I actually lined up my vacation with SketchCrawl and it was very nice way to launch it \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I expect to do more sketches here and there as I move thru the week. I also cannot wait (well I can actually) for Friday to come so we can go see Pixar’s new\u00a0animation film\u00a0WALL-E<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
