...in a panoramic sketchbook format, thinking of ways to create more of a story...
At the Getty Center...
India Sweet and Spices, a big Indian grocery store with a vegetarian restaurant...a picture of Yogananda smiles beneficently from behind the counter and a grandmother sits and watches all that happens. All kinds of people shop in here for treats and delicacies, and watch musicals from Bollywood...
At the eastern end of Echo Park on Sunset is a great taco restaurant...Guisados. Office workers from downtown gather here for lunch...
Olvera Street, the oldest part of Los Angeles...a great place for a post-Barcelona Urban Sketchers reunion with Shiho, Chris and John...
...and then in anticipation of teaching a sketching on location workshop at Descanso Gardens again, I spent some time in the garden, making small sketches, back to the basics of line, shape and tone (which I never get tired of!)
