Urban Sketching Symposium at the Yellowstone Art Museum
Guest Artist Gracie Kerr
One of our Symposium participants at the YAM Saturday was Gracie Kerr. Gracie sat in a few of our workshops with her Dad and produced this little sketch during our Architectural Sketching workshop. Gracie is 12 years old, but looking though her sketchbook it is clear she has a wonderful talent for art. This pen and wash sketch of the Babcock is just beautiful. She enjoys drawing people, and though it's hard to believe it, this was one of her first tries at Architecture! Gracie, thanks for being at the YAM with us. You are truly an inspiration.
