The Window at Molly b’s

Molly b always has an amazing window, but it was exceptional this month. I was able to quickly sketch a selective portion of it on March 6 while running errands. I added more paint and the sticker when I got home.

Sketching the Showroom at Eastern Classics in Berkeley

This store is a portal to Asian furniture and other well crafted items, antiques  and contemporary goods. 

Sketching at Tacubaya on Fourth St, Berkeley

I love sketching at Tacubaya because of the vibrant colors, casual atmosphere, hospitality, and great food. I was going to focus on people, but first had to draw the bottles at the window enclosing little glass cacti. Then on to the cooks rapidly cooking and serving myriad dishes, including take-outs. I also sketched a selection of people as they sat or waited in line, backlit by the hot pink wall.

Joann Fabrics and Crafts

There were so many items to sketch, but the dress makers form and juxtaposition of sports fabrics and Hello Kitty materials caught my eye. Please see fellow sketchers' previous posts from Joann's.
