SATURDAY: Sketch the Plaza

 


My favorite forecast said that "Saturday morning might be soggy".   But that leaves us with what might be the very last day we can sketch outdoors this season.  

There is a beautiful area of Manhattan, the southeast corner of Central Park.  The area hasn't got a name, but feels like it should.  The Plaza Hotel is there and two small mini parks; one has the Pulitzer Fountain opposite the hotel and the other has a civil war statue of General Sherman.  The entrance to the park is across the street and leads directly to the zoo.  It's another wonderfully sketchable location for us.

We are having a shortened sketch  - so read the details below:
