out along the bay

SF weekend, part 6: the journey home. Looking at my sketchbook there were some very green UC Davis drawings, followed by some very blue and yellow delta region from the train sketches, followed by some colourful bright blue, yellow, red, green ones from day one in the city. 
Then there were the muted, foggy ones, in browns and greys and dull greens. the journey home saw a slight bit of fog clearing, giving us the colour schemes of above. I never noticed all of this until later.
There’s Coit Tower, and the Bay Bridge, sketched as I waited for the amtrak bus to emeryville (I wonder how many google searches for that bus will now end up here?), plus san pablo bay, and some guy reading on the train. and the business card to the previously mentioned awesome zine shop in the mission I stopped in.
To illustrate those very differently coloured days, here are a couple of photos of my sketchbook:
About pete scully
Pete – Mind sharing the brand of sketch book that you use. Your layout is just as good as the sketches are.
cheers! watercolour moleskine.
Your drawings are gorgeous. I love seeing them in your sketchbook– it gives a sense of size, and the side by side, small layouts are immensely pleasing to me. Have you ever done/thought of doing a book?
Grazie! Actually yeah, I’m going to do a zine of the “you see, davis” stuff.
Lovely, just lovely. Wish I had a gift like that!
