Milwaukee Sketch Club Plein Air at Car Ferry and KK bridge


Drove down to the lake express car ferry on Car Ferry Drive and Lincoln Memorial Drive. Can park in the Car Ferry lot for 3 hours for free. Very open, windy and sunny. The building looks brand new. Could see sailboats there. http://www.lake-express.com/

Only saw one other person from the sketch club and she was painting acrylics. So we decided to go to a drawbridge on KK ave near St. Mary's Cement Inc, Milwaukee terminal at 2000 S. KK. There was real cool ship there and boats but I was fascinated by the patterns that the shadows made on the concrete railroad bridge abutment and the reflections in the water. So that's what I painted. Several trains went by while we were there, a few pedestrians but no one said hi.
