– New Day Bakery, Eugene, OR.

Barb Shirk, Ken, Jane, Sue Ashton (from the LaRomita trip 2014), Tricia, and Erik were the first to show up (with Amy behind the camera).

    

And here’s Amy, doing an impressionistic wash for her sketch, while Ken tries to tempt everyone with the French Toast (which Erik recommended), taking a break from sketching the leaf bouquet.

   

Hugh started a loose sketch of the leaves, too, and Erik worked on an image he had in his mental files (“As usual,” he says).

   

Penelope grins while Barb Shirk sketches a lizard from a photo taken in Italy, and Jane sketches Erik’s set up across the table.

   

Tricia and Sue get acquainted, while Sue demonstrates her famous lap sketching technique on the vase of leaves on the table.

Tricia says she’s trying to get looser in her sketching! (although we agreed we like her detail work, too).

   

Meanwhile, Hugh is sketching outside with brush pens, and Sandy shows Ken her sketch of people in the courtyard.

   

Penelope says, “I was, too, sketching!” And here’s her sketch of her shoe to prove it.
