Whole Foods, Too

Whole Foods is a fun place to sketch -- if you keep a few things in mind.

Make the smallest impact in that narrow aisle -- this is not the place to whip out your largest Moleskine. Grab a small cart and set up your minimal supplies in the kiddy seat. Now off you go in search of inspiration!

Be patient with your fellow consumers -- like moths to a flame, shoppers develop a sudden urge to purchase whatever it is you're sketching.

Learn to banter while sketching -- employees may be interested in what the heck you're up to. Especially if they're in the picture. Thanks, Byron for entertaining me in the seafood department. And thanks to Whole Foods for the opportunity.  ---Susan Ford
