It had been more than a year since the Friday ad hoc
sketchers met at 6 Arms pub on
Capitol Hill. With good food, big windows and lots of intriguing décor, it was
an ideal location to sketch as well as to celebrate my birthday (a little
early)!
Last year I started off with a sketch of the pub’s six-armed mascot on the wall. Although
the place is filled with many interesting objects to sketch, she was still the
most compelling to me. Seated at a sunny corner booth, I had a great view of her
– straight up. My neck got sore, so I had to take frequent breaks, including a
long one to enjoy a yummy veggie burger.
After lunch I remembered that I still needed one more sketch
for the last day of the 5-Day Black & White Challenge, so I pulled out
my twig and India ink to sketch the bar. Then I got to chatting and started
adding color, forgetting that I had intended to leave it monochrome!
Thanks to the Friday sketchers who joined me for my birthday
celebration!

This looks like an interesting place to sketch. Sorry you had a sore neck at the end...but probably worth doing from the looks of it. Glad you had a good birthday celebration!!!
