Sketching on Leary Way

It was great to see so many people at last Sunday's sketch outing. It was a beautiful day to get out and draw some scenes from Fremont's industrial area. The star of the show had to be the tug boat under construction at the Western Towboat Company.

Of course, there were plenty of other sites as well. I was particularly intrigued by this old warehouse building with giant windows for lighting. The window trims were painted a distinctive red that drew my eye to this otherwise  bland building.

Thanks to Way Station coffee for allowing us to use their space to meet. They had great breakfast sandwiches. I also loved the paintings by Henry on display in the space. I look forward to seeing everyone at next month's outing.

Way Station Coffee, Drunky's 2 Shoes BBQ and a Concrete Residence

We had a  great day of sketching in a funky little area of Fremont.  What originally drew me to this area was the giant size coffee cup on top of  Way Station Coffee,  I stopped off one day while trying to scope out places for us to sketch and walked around to find some other real interesting buildings, like  Drunky's 2 shoes BBQ and a concrete residence down the block that looks like one of those practice towers they have at Fire stations.   You could sketch in this neighborhood for days.

Here are some photos and sketches from the day.
