[@ramonawickstrom8562]

Congratulations on the boss offering to display and sell some of your work! 🎉👏🏼👏🏼🎉

[@recoveringsoul755]

That's awesome, but if they see this video they may not appreciate being called boring. Red tables don't seem boring to me

[@loriheald9452]

Wonderful! Some day I'll be brave enough to sketch in a coffee shop. You are so inspiring!

[@kittynekocat]

That's so cool that the owner offered to sell your art in their cafe! 😍

[@deniseramirez9706]

It is always great to watch you sketch . Your work is amazing 🥰. It looks complicated but with your narration it feels doable. Thank you for sharing. 🤗

Hi dearest Becky ! I am so happy for you that the Boss of the cafe asked about having your lovely paintings framed and then put them up for sale ! 🤗🥰They are absolutely beautiful and people will love them for sure as so many of us who are subscribed to your Channel all agree on this ! This cafe is really nice and vibrant with that bright red color ! Red is a stimulating color and being in an eating area it makes people more hungry and that tis why very often we find red in restaurants !! Your drawing are becoming better and better and that is so nice to see ! I am still on holiday and have been sketching various rooms and corners of the place we are staying in, all the time remembering how you tackle certain colors and pen marks ! Thank you ever so much Becky for giving me the stimulations to just grab my pen and draw !! I still have a long way to go but the first step or should I say the first mark has been made on my sketch book and the rest is up to me if I should continue ! I will do my utmost to do so and watching you is surely giving me the courage to do so ! I send you my Blessing, love and happy wishes for a lovely week ! See you soon.... Lorraine 💕🥰🤗👋🎨

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you for your heartwarming comment again, Lorraine! ☺️ I hope you had a great start of the week and feeling inspired in the warm spring! ☀️🌈 Anything, any time can be the right time to create.

I love the idea that anything can be sketched. I am really thinking of taking my watercolor set to a random cafe every weekend.

[@carmellahill5849]

I just started watching your KZbin channel about two weeks ago and I’ve been binging on all your past videos. I love your work and appreciate all the instruction you provide. Thank you!

[@DerekShinglesCoops]

I always feel motivated and informed after watching your videos which I can take forward into my own sketching. It was cool that the cafe staff came over and praised your work too! A great video and lovely sketch Becky!

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you, Derek! ☺️ You can do it too with time, patience, and allowing your skills to develop over time.

[@thatslifecaro1479]

The contrast of intensity and precision of the trait really works magic to give the 3 dimensions effect to the scene and differenciate inside and outside the café! i LOVE that the boss of the café came to order you some work!!! congrats!!! ^^

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much for your appreciation, Caro! ☺️💗

[@peterthedoodler8435]

Very nice! I think I preferred the ink drawing before paint. Maybe just colouring the coffee and sandwich.. thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your work.

Its amazing how you can do your line work in pen. I have to use a pencil, because I mess up and need to erase. Once I finish the line work I go back over it in pen, then I paint it. It takes me a long time. Maybe someday I'll have the skill and confidence to draw my line work with pen and stop using the pencil. You're so skilled Becky. Love from Ohio.

[@recoveringsoul755]

I was doing that too, took so long before even getting to the fun part with color. Was waiting for my food once and only had a pen, so I tried drawing the table where I waited, still not ready. So I drew the tables around me, then the counter where people placed their orders. And the signs, and the soda machine. Usually took me an hour of sketching I couldn't believe the food wasn't ready yet. I went to the next page and took notes on what colors things were and colored them when I got home. It's so much FASTER not to use pencil. My image came out wonky, with a row of tables to my left looked like they were climbing up the wall, but I still like it.

[@PonyExpressway]

i am so thankful for your videos. i find them really relaxing and they get me in the mood to paint. thank you for these!

[@BeckyCao]

You are so welcome!

[@jeanneburns1118]

Thank you for these videos Becky! I would love to try sketching in a coffee shop but have been too shy to do so. If someone came over to see my work I think I'd be mortified. Your videos are helpful to get an idea of where to start (the whole scene looks complicated) and to know to use shapes. I think a scene like this would take me a long time to complete (and many coffees!). How long did this sketch and watercolor take you? Thanks again!

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you, Jeanne! It took me two hours in total to do the line work and watercolors on location. ☺️ You will get more confident with time and practice, LOTS.

Brilliant, as usual! It makes me want to try an interior too!

Such fun. Nice to interact with the staff. Very comprehensive sketch of the environment

Nothing is the only thing that can't be sketched. Nothing can't be sketched.

I love watching your process. Thanks for always sharing.

[@DazzlingStar07]

Found you yesterday and did some daily drawing journalling of yesterday & today. Loving this approach to capture glimpse of daily life. Very soothing. I want to learn how to draw human figures in proportion though. You draw humans really well🤗

[@wendyhepting6056]

So well done and enjoyable to watch! I’m always inspired by your videos!😁

[@patriciatolliver4057]

Did you sell the picture? As always, beautiful.

[@milicentart]

How long does it take you to do this drawing? What do you do with them later, do you make larger paintings, or are they done work in themselves?

[@BeckyCao]

Most of them are done work themselves, a visual diary for myself. I also make prints of some of the pages.

[@carinarickard3289]

You are such a great teacher! I love to follow your process when sketching and painting! When I’m sketching from a photo, the view is already decided. I can’t sketch anything outside of the ”frame” that the photo presents, if you understand what I mean. While on location, I have a 180 degree view and find if really difficult to decide on how much of that wide view I should choose for my sketch. I’ve actually considered making a view finder to help me. How do you decide what to fit into your sketch and what parts of the scenery that are outside of your imaginary frame?

[@recoveringsoul755]

I had the same problem when mountain climbing. Think of it the way you would if you were taking a photograph, you point the camera and use the viewfinder to Frame what area you want to take the picture of. (Although I've been known to take multiple pictures and then overlap them when printed to get a better feel of what it was like there in person). I've seen people make a little cardboard "frame" to take with them to use when sketching. Look through the cardboard and move it around to see what you want to capture in your sketch

[@BeckyCao]

Hi Carina, great questions. I completely understand what you mean. ☺️ There is always a central focus in the 180 degree view, and most of the time, we only need part of it, like 90 degrees. In this situation, I identified the cashier area, pastry display shelf, the wine bottles, and the red balcony uniting together as a central focus. The blank walls on the left and right speaks less of the environment, and so not necessary to be included. So our goal is to convey clearly what the environment is, for a cafe, is to include the key objects.

[@milicentart]

How did your set up look filming this?

[@BeckyCao]

It's simply a gooseneck phone tripod from Amazon, with a clamp on the base that can be attached to table edges.

Going into a coffee shop called Serious Coffee reminded me of Yuko going into a new coffee shop: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epS0d3WagbOpkLc Back in the days when you needed a university degree to order a coffee.
