Painting On Location: Who Knew??



  The on-location class I am taking is really a lot of fun! Who knew I would feel comfortable sketching and painting in the middle of a restaurant? That was our assignment this week: Go to a coffee shop and draw and paint what you see. I chose my local Starbucks. I love the atmosphere there anyway, and they have my favorite tea, Tazo Zen, so I was golden!  The oatmeal got a little cold while I was doing my thing, but I ate it anyway. This could actually turn into a weight loss study. By the time I finished painting the muffin, I was no longer interested in eating it! The only real problem I had was that I attempted to drink my paint water a few times! Ha! Fortunately I caught myself.
  I plan on hitting a few more coffee shops/eating establishments for more inspiration. ( There goes the weight loss theory ). And I am looking forward to the next prompt. Stay tuned for more sketching adventures!

    Lovely work...I sometimes forget to carry my sketch book and now try to remember to have one in my studio...in my car...next to the bed... it is just lovely. Stay safe and warm. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart

    Wonderful sketches of your breakfast! I plan a trip to our local Panera for a danish and coffee sketch when the weather clears. I just finished my keys!
