We are going to go to the TRY the evening outdoor sketching. It looks to be mild and clear for Wednesday. For those brave souls who want to brave the elements, bundle up... for the rest of us, sketching from your car will have to do.
We will be meeting at the Corey Beach area….down by the water. There is a dock toward the back that most of you are familiar with….great view of the night time sky and water for reflections.
There are some logistical issues with sketching in the dark….you will need light (obviously), something for your surface that won't interfere with your subject….you can pick up book lights for $10 at Bed Bath and Beyond that will work nicely. If you work in watercolor or color media, you will need to either light your palette or know you palette colors well to be able to use them in the dark. You might want to bring along that white tube of gouache for lights over darks.
For those of you who don't know Corey Beach, here's the location on the map.

You can get to it by turning down Atlantic Ave in Blue Point, near the Mexican restaurant on Main St/Montauk Highway…very easy to get to….most of us have been there….
Oh, Flo's won't be open yet… get your coffee or tea before you arrive because there's nothing open down there this time of year.
