Boulevard On Tap

It is so fun to get together with other sketchers on first Saturdays in Kansas City!  This weekend we met at Boulevard Brew House, where they give the tours of their facility.  I found my spot in front of the Shasta Camper on the second floor, and painted three from that location!  This was the second - and it is just to the right of the photo booth.  I don't remember this being here last time, and they have added more sitting areas to gather with friends.  What a great space to spend a little time sketching, sipping and visiting!  Painting 2626 in 2626 days.

Vintage Boulevard

The old tank at the Boulevard Brewing Company is infinitely more paintable than the shiny new tank that has replaced it.  This local Kansas City icon is a favorite meeting place, and a wonderful place for wedding receptions!  The balcony is beautiful on a warm summer night.  Studying for the painting to come, this is one composition that I first rendered in ink.  I really seem to migrate to the black for my ink, and I have many wonderful, rich colors to choose from!  I have three empty fountain pens drying on the counter now..... perhaps I'll fill each with one of those rich hues.  Painting number 1759 in 1759 days.
