Westbrae Biergarten, Berkeley

Animated inanimate objects.  Non-photo blue pencil, watercolor, brush pen
It was a rare (unfoggy) early evening at Westbrae Biergarten. Parents enjoyed beers and a casual dinner in the late sunshine and let their kids run about with other kids.  A record number of urban sketchers gathered at long picnic tables to enjoy the mild weather and sketch the scene. The temperature quickly dropped as the sun set. Propane garden heaters provided some warmth as we shared our drawings, drained the last sips of beer and put away our portable sketching kits.

Westbrae Biergarten, Berkeley

New this summer on the corner of  Gilman and Curtis Streets in Berkeley--a beer garden with anchor tenant Pedro's Brazil Cafe serving food.  The place is owned by the family who founded Westbrae Nursery next door.  The outdoor heaters were fired up the night we were there and a World Cup draw chart posted prominently among the international flags flying along the fence.  The place was packed!
Love their brew/pirate logo--also on the waitstaff's t-shirts--and the ginormous beers.

Family having dinner.  I got the spelling wrong on this one.
