Sunset Hornblower, Berkeley, Ink & watercolor
On the last night of the heat wave we met to sketch behind the Doubletree Hotel in Berkeley by the bay to cool off. The debate between candidates for California’s governor was on the radio so I listened on my iPhone while I sketched and it added a little spice to the evening. Who knew ol’ Jerry Brown was so funny?
Doubletree Lobby Chairs, Ink & watercolor
When it got too dark we explored the hotel, looking for sketching options. We considered the pool, the restaurant and the bar, but the seating area in the lobby was so comfy we plopped down and spent the rest of the evening drawing the chairs. You can see all of our renditions together on the Urban Sketchers Bay Area Blog.
I sure do enjoy seeing your drawings and paintings of Berkeley. This looked like another fun session.
Love the colors on that yacht and your sketches (including the ones from your all day meeting!) are fabulous!
Thanks Raena! Jana
Hi Jana, I always like your watercolor pieces; they’re wonderful. And I particularly like you ink and watercolor drawing of the lobby; very nice. I enjoyed scrolling through what you’ve been up to lately. I particularly like the plein aire pieces!
Thanks Peggy, I so appreciate your comments! I’ve been doing a lot of oil painting plein air which I haven’t posted yet. It’s such a learning experience! jana
