When Greg and I visited the Starbucks Reserve Roastery before the holidays, I resisted
sketching because I knew the Friday ad hoc sketchers were planning a sketch
outing there. This morning I got so excited about finally sketching there that
I bit off a composition that was way more than I could chew. I thought I knew
what I wanted to focus on, but somehow all that copper piping and transparent “pneumatic
transfer tubing” kept leading me astray. It was fun but exhausting to follow
all those pipes around the facility!
After the sketch outing, a few of us walked across the
street for lunch at 6 Arms. While I
waited for my food to come, I sketched Elsie and Don (they weren’t really as
glum as I made them look!).

I applaud your wonderful sketch of the roasters!!!! I know how hard it is to follow all those pipes and tubing. I had enough trouble with the small roaster at our local coffee place. I like how you used the brown to shade the parts/pieces of the roaster and tubing.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue accent in an otherwise "orange" complimentary color scheme. Bet you had fun with the puzzle knot of tubes, pipes and machinery. :) wish I could have been there!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michele! We've been missing you on Fridays! Hope to see you when you're back from paradise!
DeleteGlad to see that you got to do a sketching session at the Roastery. Looks like a place I'd hang out at often. So much to draw. Did you see my PM to you on FB?
ReplyDeleteCheers --- Larry
Thanks for letting me know about your PM! I forget to look in that "other" folder!
