Weekday Urban Sketchers go Ice Skating Wednesday

Get ready for ACTION !

For the past few weeks we have been drawing things that are very still.  This week  its all action as we draw the skaters on the ice skating rink in Bryant Park.  Lucky for us there is an indoor viewing area that is heated and has chairs and tables.  Try to catch the action on the rink or the beautiful park with the classic library as a backdrop. Either way it will be a fine setting for some winter outdoor urban sketching.
