Sketching Food and People with Pen and Watercolors at Wicked Cafe in Vancouver! 🎨

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing with you my morning at Wicked Cafe in Vancouver on a winter day. I captured the cozy interior with people, and my pudding and latte in my sketchbook. Please watch the video until the end for lots of tips on urban sketching!
🎨 Materials I used:
Sailor's fude fountain pen (Bamboo Green)
Noodler's Brown 41 Ink (to fill the fountain pen)
Mungyo watercolors
Fabriano Venezia Sketchbook
Holbein Water Brush (large tip)
Faber-Castell water brush

I love how you didn't paint with any black, but instead used dark versions of colours you already had in your picture - like the laptop! It really worked well!

Just luscious! Your sketches always make me want to curl up with a hot latte and a pastry! I haven't watched in a while Becky, but since returning you seem to have upped your game. Just, wow! I'm so impressed.

Hi Becky. I thought everything looked delicious. The food, coffee, and your beautiful work. Thank you so much.

Beautiful colors in today’s study which really seperated the many shapes. I was in awe of your steady hand drawing the back tiles. This was a lovely cafe and the pudding jar was so unique and yummy looking. Thank you for a great tutorial Becky!

[@anneparker2141]

The Wicked name for the cafe comes from the English phrase “No rest for the wicked.”😆🤗-- lovely sketch and I really appreciated you commentary🤗

[@ArpitaPramanick-y4t]

[@Speurneuscosmo]

Lovely as always❤ I don’t like sweet pastries, cakes or puddings. But those are to cute, not to order. Especially for sketching. Hope Some day you will sketch a whole display case with all the festive pastries. Hmmmm……Maybe you give me an idea for my own sketching🤔☺️😉 Looking forward to see your next video. Have a Nice day😊

I agree with JustMe... it's always a pleasure! I'm wondering how you like your new Faber Castell water brush in comparison to your Holbein? Each brand seems to have its own peculiarities. I'm looking for the Goldilocks water brush. My Pentel tends to run pretty wet, so not loving it and looking for a good replacement. For some reason, even though Holbein paints are sold in the US, the water brushes are not. At least not any place I've found. Just hoping for a bit of a review. As always, I love our armchair sketching trips with you! You are inspiring!

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you for your questions! I will film a review video of the water brushes I've used. I've tried Pentel before, true, it can get too wet. The Faber-Castel is better. Holbein is my favorite. :)

Hi Becky. You changed your channel’s name! I am glad you chose the honey jar to paint. =)

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you Rowena! Yes, I thought it was time for a name change. Viewers may find me better with this new channel name. 😄
