Time Away From Home, Bronx Views by Joan Tavolott

On Saturday I met up with the NYC Urban Sketchers at Bronx Community College. At first I didn't think it would be an interesting place to sketch, but I was proved wrong. For most of my sketches I worked directly in watercolor (no pencil first) which is a challenge especially with buildings and architecture. This is the Gould Memorial Library.


Behind the library is a covered walkway which has views looking out over the Bronx and is home to the Hall of Fame of Famous Americans. The entire walkway is lined with busts of famous Americans grouped together by categories. Here is one of my sketches done along the walkway.
