Sketching Gus's Grocery

Gus's Grocery is one of the best Sandwich shops in San Luis Obispo.  To call it a Grocery really is a misjustice.  Yes, you can go in and shop for a few things: chips, soda, and beer, but in reality it just a sandwich shop.  Well, not just a sandwich shop, probably the best sandwich shop in around.

Step up the the order window and give them your order.  Your sandwich will be fresh made right in front of you.  Most of the time they will slice the cheese and meat at the time they make the sandwich.  I'm partial to the Italiano.  Oh and by the way, make it a Bomber.

Well, thats it, enjoy the painting.  I had a great time painting it, and really do hope you like it.

Gus's Grocery

Ok, I will admit, Gus's isn't in Morro Bay, it's in San Luis, but its an institution and everyone knows it.  I had to give it a try.  Incidentally, if you want a great sub, Gus's is the place to go.

Some good and some bad on this one, just like the rest.  Seeing the scanned image, i can tell my perspective is still off a bit, but I don't think it really takes away from the picture all that much.  Some good coloring on the trees, and a bit ont he brick on the front of the store.  The stucco, I feel like I am having trouble with.  Soooooooooooooo many of the building here are all stucco, and if you know me, you know that i think stucco is like the laziest way to finish a building.  It rarely ever looks good.  Maybe I feel I am having a little trouble painting it because of the way I feel about it.    After painting the Bayside, I was told that if I made the windows totally dark, or black, that they would be much more dramatic.  I have to say, That was some good advice.  Well, I hope you all enjoy the painting.
