End of An Era Exhibit at Bauhaus Coffee and Books

Opening reception of an art exhibit on the the changing landscape of Capitol Hill.   Come if you can.  I have one of my sketches exhibited.  This building which houses Bauhaus will be demo'd sometime in June?  Many of the businesses are leaving beginning of the year.  It was unclear how long Bauhaus will remain at this site.  So if you want to see the space and do a last sketch before they leave...you need to go soon. 

Bauhaus Coffee

Great coffee and company. Here is a view of the tall but intimate space from where I was sitting along a wall of books. It’s always tempting but difficult to capture a holistic, wide-angle view of an interior that mirrors our experience.

Seattle Urban Sketchers - January

We got together Sunday morning at the Bauhaus Coffee Co. (E. Pine). Good coffee can be had at seemingly every corner in the area - and there's an art supply store across the street....Thanks Gail for the organizational efforts.

Great neighborhood to sketch and I plan to go back, maybe when the sun comes out...

To brick or not to brick.

Sketching in a warm coffee shop on a wet Seattle day, getting lost in the bricks and books.

safe in the city

what a treat to get out the fingerpaints after such a dry spell! was great to see you all and share this great spot with its magnificent views of the city, warm and dry in clouds of coffee mist! i managed one sketch each from the windows of Bauhaus and Victrola coffee establishments.

Frank B's sketch from today.

Frank Bettandorf emailed the following sketch of today's event.  He was up in the mezzanine with Susan sketching a person down on the main level who was also drawing.

As Gail noted, glad to be sketching instead of watching the Hawks go down. These are both from Bauhaus Coffee (enjoyed from the balcony with the always delightful Frank B).

Gabi sketches for the Seattle Times; I sketched this with the Times. The second is a "modified contour" drawing (thanks for helping me figure out what to call it, Gail!)

Coffee House Culture

Instead of watching the Seahawks play the Bears,  we had a pretty good size group of us sketching at coffee houses on the Pike Pine corridor.  It was a nice way to spend the morning and from the looks of it was probably the better choice.  Here are two sketches I did.

Bauhaus Coffee

d'oh!















After a long absence, I finally make it out for a sketchcrawl. And realize I got the date wrong! Oh well, here's what the Bauhaus looked like on Saturday... Will

Reminder: Sketchcrawl this Sunday January 16th 10 am

  

This is just a reminder of this week's Sketchcrawl. Meet outside BauHaus Coffee on Capitol Hill (inside if it is raining)  and then you can sketch in comfort from this one or any of the nearby cafe's.  Click on the Labels for more information or check our calendar for address of Bauhaus Coffee.

Bauhaus Coffee and Dog Park on Pine St.

Friday afternoon I took my son and our dog Bijou to the dog park on Pine St. and saw these great urns. Just down the block was a wonderful coffee house with a lot of character Bauhaus Coffee.
Great place to go.
