This month we sketched at the Sears Crosstown Tower. I've always thought the building was so interesting + it was really neat to be able to go inside. I was pretty excited about it. I wasn't really sure what to expect. We went to the third floor first. It was painted in one of my favorite colors- minty green. The smell was so interesting...I could smell it the rest of the day. There was dust + peeling paint everywhere.
I chose to sketch a section of the room that had some funky colors going on- minty green, yellow + red. I liked the combination.
Then we walked through dark hallways + stairs to the cafeteria. It was sorta spooky. We had an interesting playlist of music going on in the cafeteria thanks to some neighbors, haha.
I sketched an exit door + curtains with all kinds of mess on the ground.
And the ceiling of the kitchen (i think).
I think I may have had more fun taking pictures than sketching :)
more pictures here.
i adore the little painting and the sketch of the kitchen (maybe? lol) ceiling. neat detailing on the vent.
