UC Berkeley Campus, two of my favorite things

These are two of my favorite things to draw in the Berkeley Campus, the old tree close to the Faculty Club and the South Hall. I these sketches in August. I had just joined the urban sketchers group and I think that they already show improvement thanks to the show and tell sessions with my fellow sketchers.

UC campus - Doe Library, Hearst Mining

I started the sketch of the Doe Library in May of last year, so I just colored it in. The entrance has this wonderful figure above the door, looking like a cross between a Roman warrior and a stylish 1920's-era woman. There is a beautiful, wood-panelled library within the Doe Library which we would love to visit and sketch in, it's just to the right as you enter the front door.


Then we walked up to the Hearst Memorial Mining Building, which is now quite visible since they've removed the obstruction which was directly in front of it.
