December Sketch Outing

Quite a few new faces at our Urban Sketch group today.  We met up for coffee in our Central Library cafe before dispersing to other areas of the building, mostly taking inspiration from the views outside.

The library itself is a fairly modern construction, but is attached to the Town Hall which was built in "neo-17th century Dutch style" in 1890.  The two structures enclose a courtyard and from the upper floors of the new building you can get a good view of the original decorative clock tower and cupolas.

I had already sketched the clock tower on a previous occasion, so today I concentrated on one of the cupolas.
