8/1/25 Old Stove Brewing Co., Ballard neighborhood |
We enjoyed last month’s drink & draw at Old Stove Brewing
Company so much that USk Seattle went back on Friday. First timer Jovel was
happy to meet and chat with a few folks over brews and sketchbooks before she eventually
joins us at a regular meetup. The extreme introvert in me is always surprised
that a newcomer would choose to first approach a group at a purely social
gathering like drink & draw, which would be really hard for me, rather than
at a sketch outing, where I could easily retreat to my sketch (without
necessarily having to talk to anyone). But I’m pleased that others are more comfortable
joining a group in the casual, familiar setting of a brew pub; it happens at
almost every drink & draw. As an admin, I think whatever we can offer to
make USk more approachable is a good thing.

When I sketch across a spread like this, I try to avoid letting the gutter run through something important like a face -- ouch. |
As for me, I’m always comfortable at USk drink & draws now. Even if I don’t know someone, by the end of the evening, we have probably sketched each other, and there’s no better way to break the ice than to laugh over sketch-mate portraits.
