Sketching at The Pub

The Pub, ink & watercolor, 5x8"

The Pub on Solano in Albany is a funky, hidden-away, cozy place to sketch, play chess or cards, and chat with friends or friendly strangers while sipping espresso, beer or wine.

The Pub's clientele tend to be colorful people who are interesting to eavesdrop on while sketching. The old guys I sketched above weren't exactly firecrackers but the 40-something, rough-hewn guy in rainbow tie-dye and long blond hair sitting behind me entertained with daring travel adventure stories of remote and distant lands.
