MuChO ArT tHis WeEK bY lYnN cOhEn

...  the saga of my life continues; since I post on my blog anew, mid week, the first drawings are often done the previous mid week, this time at Tacos Jalisco for starters, over a grilled vegetable burrito bowl with rice & beans, no dairy, vegan style!

 This is the week I drew fifty six (56) people!

Two pictures are posted to get the guys at each end into it, as my scanner cuts them off!

And we can't have anyone feeling left out!

I will let the folks speak for themselves in the drawings:

Also last week I got to meet up with some fellow artists to draw together in Napa, California. We were to meet Janice at Barnes & Nobles in Fairfield, and she would then ride in our car to Napa. We got there a bit early so I had time to draw these folks enjoying coffee and whatever they were doing on their laptops. I didn't ask!

Janice and I were meeting, Elizabeth, who was down from Ashland, Oregon, at the Ox Bow Market in Napa. I'd never been there before so had no idea what to expect! Both Elizabeth and Janice and a third artist friend from Oakland, who also came, are friends from Sketchbook Skool. I am telling you that Sketchbook Skool has all kinds of perks!

Making friends from around the world just one of them!!!!

I had no idea I'd be drawing flying goats and cows either, but I did!

Here Janice, I, and Elizabeth are saying good bye at the end of our day together.

We had so much fun!

And here they are again, plus Aikaya, who I drew there at the market sitting under the flying animals!

I also drew those people above from my vantage point sitting at a tall table on tall stools. They were sitting just next to us but down below!

And I drew this whole group of people sitting at the Oyster Bar across the room. This was a fun place to go to draw! We were there drawing, eating lunch, talking, laughing, having fun from

10 a.m. till 3:30 pm. What a day!

Meanwhile, my week continues, and I find Starbucks my standby place to draw people.

This first drawing is just one guy and his parts drawn over and over again ...

These two gals & baby were sitting at the far wall, with a nice spring day basking in sun, behind them out the windows.

Still another day, a different Starbucks, different city, this gal was all hooked up to cords and machines writing away!

These folks go with the other baby picture day, he was so interesting for his garb of earrings, multiple tattoos and brightly painted toe nails. She had tattoos too. I don't think the baby did.

Ah ha, again out of sync. These people again, all hooked up to electronics were with the first woman with the big white headset /head ear things on ... Many people seem to make Starbucks their office away from home and/or office.

And again a repeat picture to let everyone get seen at both ends of the double spread pages!

It just seems fair.

This guy, also there sitting at a high table, on a tall stool was alone on his laptop. But then ...

 

... no one is really alone with so many others there doing the same thing.

I was the only one drawing.

Meanwhile, over at our other blog, Paper, Paint, Pencils & Pens, we are still drawing our fantasy destinations until the 16th of this month when we will have a new theme to draw to.

The fantasy here is to repeat a visit we took last September when we went to Germany (and 7 other countries in Europe). I drew this picture then and again now. Or I photographed it then and drew this from my photo. The buildings were all so colorful and inviting.

And real flowers were in great abundance!

This is Weisenburg, Germany, where my husband was born to his

war bride, German mom and American soldier dad.

We (Ann Hyde from the UK and myself) are always looking for new artists to join us at Paper, Paint, Pencils & Pens, so if you want to draw and post your art to a new theme every two weeks hop over to the blog via the link here or on my side bar; see the side bar there or the tab for how to join. And come draw with us, any level artist, with other artists from all over the world.

We have fun there too!

Another day of drawing at Starbucks ... I hope these don't bore you ... I just really love drawing

people.

This weekend I will be drawing in Sausalito (near San Francisco) ... tall ships, sail boats and more people, meeting up with the San Francisco Urban Sketch group and the East Bay Sketchers group!

So be sure to come back here next week to see what I drew!
