Natural Grocers, Eugene, OR

Here we are, checking out a new space – nice wood tables, large windows and bright light, free coffee, and a friendly welcome. NICE!

       Patti McNutt starts a sketch of the inside building structure, while Barb Shirk focuses on the wood wall sculpture.

      The assistant manager welcomes us, including newcomers Connie & Susan, a neighbor and a cousin of Barbara Shirk.  Then the fellow responsible for scheduling cooking demos shows the calendar.

      Barb shows Sandy her new Lamy pen loaded with water soluble brown ink (pic shows it over Copic Marker), and Erik took a closeup of Patti’s rediscovered tiny pen point Pentel Hybrid Technica pen.

      Connie tries out the paints a friend sent her from France (very dense), & Barb Sommers shows us a sketch from out her window.

      Connie laughs about her sketch of Erik with his signature hat, and Erik shows his emerging sketch of Heidi.

      Barb Sommers starts a pencil sketch of the green pepper and red onion on the table, and Patti goes straight to ink!

      Jan Brown starts with Stylo colored ink pens, and Sandy adds colored pencil to her ink drawing of the same subject.

      Heidi does some colored pencil overlay, and Jan adds water soluble Tombo markers.

      Jane added watercolor to her ink sketch on toned paper, and Sandy adds some commentary to fill out her sketch page.

      Patti posts her sketch of the inside of the store on their bulletin board, as Jan, Heidi, and Sandy finish their sketches.
