Cato's Ale House, Oakland

Lara at Cato's 

It was crowded at Cato's, although you wouldn't know it from my sketch. I got tired of drawing people from afar. It was more fun to talk with and draw the other sketchers who turned out that night.

It was our open sketch night (first Thursday of every month) when everyone's invited to come sketch with us. It was a sketch party!! We kept commandeering more and more tables. After a couple of hours, we shared our sketches on a big tabletop, shining phone flashlights down upon our drawings in the dimly lit room.
