Sketch Club details

Some people have asked if there is a fee for these outings. There is NO FEE for joining the sketch club or attending outings, however, if we decide to sketch at a place that charges an admission fee, then you would be responsible for that admission fee. But we do not collect fees. We just want to encourage sketching.

We do not distribute supplies, you are encouraged to bring whatever materials you are comfortable with, but the idea is to travel light when you sketch. There is suggested list of supplies on this blog, but it is only a suggested list...you aren't required to run out and buy supplies other than a hardbound sketchbook, like a 5x8, and a drawing pencil. A hardbound sketchbook such as those made by Strathmore are suggested because hardbound books are sturdier, wirebound pages slide and have a tendency to smear pencil drawings. Moleskines are nice but very pricey for beginners....Pearl Art in Selden had some nice ones and if you have a coupon, you can get a nice sketchbook at a decent price. I believe Michael's and AC Moore carry Strathmore and Canson hardbounds.

We will discuss sketching supplies and answer other questions at the meeting in December as well as discussing frequency of meetings, sites to sketch and other items of interest.
