| 3/12/25 Empire Roasters & Records, Columbia City |
Déjà vu: I recalled a USk Seattle outing in Columbia City way back in 2016 when heavy rain and wind pushed us all indoors. It wasn’t quite that bad this morning, but it was definitely wet enough for our small group to retreat indoors.
Mary Jean and I decided on Empire Roasters and Records, a funky space combining a café and record store on three narrow floors. I admired all the furniture made from wood that still retained the raw edges, cracks and holes of the trees it came from.
I started with my current obsession: A color temperature study of the interior I faced (above) using principles I had learned in a class I just finished.
That done, I could relax and make a comics diary page to commend myself for unpacking my drawing table and filling my sketchbook bookcase (below).
It’s a shame that we couldn’t sketch outdoors because the Columbia City neighborhood is full of old architecture and fun business street fronts. But I was happy to have a comfy opportunity to work out color temperature concepts in a real-life location, not just a portrait from a photo as we did in the class.
