Getting back to a #selfportraitsunday - today I decided to use some of the tools from @marugodas ‘s #emotionsingrayscale workshop: India ink, Pitt oil pencil, and bamboo pencil. . . . #emotionsingrayscalechallenge #selfportrait #indiaink #bamboopen #pittoilpencil #jenniekessinger (at Walnut Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnhxK80BhMI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12lj1lkbrd1iv

We finally made it to Soba Ichi to try the handmade soba noodles by one of the few soba masters in the world and definitely in the US. The chef, Kochi Ishii, trained in Japan for 3 years and brought a grain mill from Japan to grind his own buckwheat flour from Washington state buckwheat. The noodles sell out every day - so, we arrived 15 minutes before they opened today to make sure we got to try the jyuwari (100% buckwheat) soba noodles. The food and atmosphere of the restaurant were amazing! . . . #sfbayareaurbansketchers #emotionsingrayscale #indiaink #watersolublegraphite #emotionsingrayscalechallenge #jenniekessinger #urbansketching #urbansketchers #urbansketcherssfbayarea #sobanoodles (at Soba Ichi) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnUSiO5hfHK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bk7ywbjzk12s

Using what I learned in @marugodas ‘s #emotionsingrayscale workshop yesterday, I was one of the few to not use color for their Painted Ladies sketch today with #sfbayareaurbansketchers and @marugodas . . . #emotionsingrayscalechallenge #graphitepowder #woodpen #dippen #stabilowoody #indiaink #usk #jenniekessinger #paintedladiessketch (at Painted ladies) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnSJdcEhV8W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iitb3e6v2k8n

Had a great time sketching with @marugodas today - attempting the Painted Ladies in grayscale. Loved watching Maru’s IRL progress. . . . #sfbayareaurbansketchers #urbansketchers #urbansketcherssfbayarea #emotionsingrayscalechallenge #emotionsingrayscale (at Painted ladies) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnR-FlShvcQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=115zmat64kzqa
