I met some local Sketchbook Skool students to do some outdoor sketching by the Berkeley Marina. We scratched that plan - too cold and windy. So we went to Leila'*s, a cozy cafe in Berkeley and did our sketching indoors

Eating in

My sketch group visited the Pyramid Brewery in Berkeley recently. The place also has food. However, I was nether hungry nor thirsty. I just focused on draw the restaurant employees and guests.

Return to Spenger's

I joined the sketchers earlier this month for a session at Spenger's Restaurant in Berkeley. I could go there again and again because there is so much to draw! Here is my depiction of sketch leader, Jana!

North Beach Pizza

North Beach Pizza is located in a former IHOP on University in Berkeley. I'm not sure how this happened but I managed to sketch three times in one night.

I drew part of a group of diners sitting in a booth.

The pizza looked and smelled yummy but I just wanted to draw dinner than eat it.

Brennan's

My next outing with the sketchers was at Brennan's at University in Berkeley. It is a cool place to relax with family or friends after work or powerwalking.

This is my first outing with a local sketching group, which is affiliated with Urban Sketchers.
