With its many small rooms and spaces, the Fremont Coffee Company is both a
challenging interior space to sketch and a cozy place for a hot mocha on a
cold, foggy morning. Several Friday sketchers ended up at the bar, where I
attempted to sketch the front counter scene (below) and immediately regretted
it. I had been attracted to the string of orange Halloween lights, but the
general dimness and the perspective of the counter frustrated me.
After that, I moved to a small side room looking out toward
the bar I had just left. Knowing Lynne’s and Carleen’s sketching styles, I figured
they’d be there a while, so they were safe to sketch.
Kate usually
documents our sketch gatherings, but she couldn’t make it today, so I
tried my best to photograph our sketchbooks. Then we recruited a woman nearby
to take a group photo, and she kindly obliged.

I really like that first sketch...the pose with the foot resting on the other stool. Looks like a fun place and sketching with others is so enjoyable.
