I got there at 9:45 about 15 minutes before opening time. The court yard has a wonderful statue of El Cid, so I got out a large pad and started sketching. A crazy mixture of snow and hail started. It was coming down furiously and wetted the entire page, washing my ink and running the water color. In the beginning I decided to "
go with it" and see how the unexpected worked. After awhile it was too crazy and I gave up as the museum opened.
Although I try to encourage myself with interiors and architecture, my true love is always sketching people.

I was drawn to these two sculptures:
Because of the extended subway sketching we did last week I'm viewing the train ride to our location and back as an important sketching opportunity. This first sketch was of a man sitting opposite me. Watercolor was added later to the pen sketch.
The last sketch was done at the bus stop.
