SketchCrawl 20: Austin

Saturday October 25th was SketchCrawl #20. I flew to Austin the night before to meet up with Lisa who drove down from the Dallas area. She got the word out and six local sketchers joined us for the event. What a great day! The weather was perfect and we were able to walk around central Austin and sketch a bunch of great subjects.

I had never been to Austin before. We picked the city as our destination because it was easy for both of us to get to and we wanted to spend time there. What a cool place! Here are some photos from the day:

    Ahh, the stevie statue. I think everyone who goes to austin visits the stevie statue. Looks like you were there at a nicer time of year than I, when I went it was high summer and too hot to even be outdoors, all the grass was brown and crunchy.
