Art Around Lunch

Conveniently, the art store was right across the street from where we had lunch in Berkeley. This was the Blick Arts store, down near 5th and University. The lunch was at an Indian place. We found the ox gall, but no Derwent Signature watercolor pencils. I still don’t know if this Winsor & Newton ox gall is synthetic or actually made from bile of cow.

Later on the in the afternoon, we went up to the UC Botanical Gardens to sketch a bit. This is definitely one of my favorite spots in Berkeley—I should get there more often.

  1. Funny, I wrote up the two bot gardens—UC’s and Tilden’s—for this past Friday’s Planet. And that Indian restaurant does a very good job with goat, just in case you’re inclined to revisit.

    You were right around the corner from the Vivarium, too. Kyoooot baby snakes!
