People in Cafes, "Tacos Jalisco Folks", Lynn Cohen
It is my habit to eat and draw at Tacos Jalisco, a small family owned restaurant up the street from my office. I've been doing this for at least three years now. In the beginning I was very timid, but now it is nothing for me to choose the people at the very next table in front of mine to draw! I was drawn to the name/picture/advertising on the back of this guys shirt at first. Then drew his friends. The red border was done with a new Parallel calligraphy fountain pen. I have another one with black ink. They can be refilled. And I did the watercolors there too. Like I said I have become quite bold!

Good for you! They should be honored to be sketched by you!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Joan you are so kind!
DeleteWell done on capturing them so well. Keep up the great drawing. I challenged myself a while ago to draw in public. It's not anything I see anyone do at all here. I got a few strange looks but will do it again..

DeleteYour confidence shows in your drawings Lynn....lovely to see these folks and their interaction.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann for noticing that. I do FEEL the confidence now. It is becoming as natural as breathing to me.
DeleteI admire your loose style- I am tight as a tick when I draw and want to free up!
