Brewport at the Sachem Library

Luckily I've found that most of the local libraries have small cafes where you can get coffee and a snack. It was a rainy day so I headed over to the Brewport Cafe at the Sachem Library, which is actually my local library. There was an interesting counter, a barista with red hair, and lots of details to include. I stayed dry, had a coffee and a crumb cake cookie. Yum!

 

The Loft

Upstairs at the Sachem Library in Holbrook they have an area called "The Loft." It overlooks the downstairs and has cubbies where you can sit and be separated from other people. There are a lot of small tables around too as well as a few comfortable chairs. It was a good place to hang out and sketch on a rainy day.

One Week 100 People - Day 5

My sketching day started back at the eye doctor's office because Jerry needed to see a retina specialist. While he was out for some tests I started sketching some of the equipment in the room making sure to leave space to put him into the sketch. He is sketch #82.

After we got home I went over to the Sachem Library to do some sketching. I guess I wasn't there at a busy time because there weren't a lot of people there...but I found some. Somewhere there are an additional 2 sketches. I wonder where they are.

Next I drove into Sayville and parked on Main Street. I sketched a few subjects that were hanging out in front of the barber shop.

A woman with two dogs was heading toward me. I sketched her shape and the basic position of the dogs. Then I quickly grabbed my phone and snapped a photo to finish this one at home.

The Bellport Dock had people coming and going. There were a few me doing surveying the house across from the parking lot. There were even a few kids playing on a strange-looking swing and a girl on a scooter.

My last sketch to reach #100 was of a Swezey fuel oil truck parked with the driver inside. He must have been on a break and was there long enough for me to sketch him and most of the truck.

Now I will be returning to my regular sketching. It was great to stretch myself and do so many people. The practice is really good to do.

 

One Week 100 People - Day 4

 I was pretty sure that I wasn't going to have much time to sketch in the morning. Jerry and I had back-to-back eye doctor appointments and I stayed in the room with him, so I only got 2 sketches done in the waiting room before we were called in.  We were there for a long time and then went out to lunch. Of course I didn't have a view of other people in the restaurant...oh well!

After I dropped Jerry off at home I went to our local library. I was able to get a few more sketches done there and my tally is now 81 sketches. I added watercolor when I got home.
