If you want to learn how to make your own sketchbook, here's a good place to start and if you like the demo, we can do classes on this.

For those on a budget, you can make these with what you have around the house, except for the paper.

22 x 30 inch sheet of watercolor or heavy printmaking paper 

Yardstick or ruler

Tomorrow Evening beginning around 5:30 - 6 PM

Folks, 

Sorry folks, I have to do some weather watching this time of year and gauge the time left in the evenings to sketch....it actually looks like it is going to be a nice evening so we are going to sketch in Sayville tomorrow evening.   I am trying to stretch it out the best I can before we have to come indoors.....Sayville is one of the better spots where you can still sketch as it gets dark because the store fronts are lit up.....and you can get a nocturnal in if you want.

There are a many shops to sketch or you can sit down by the Starbucks....Four Star usually has seasonal stuff out front.    There's an Irish Pub of sorts, Down the Rabbit Hole is cute....etc.....

This Wednesday at 6 PM

This Week we will be sketching on Main Street in Patchogue near the Roast coffee & tea company. There are a lot of great Subjects to sketch. If The weather is bad you can sketch in Roast.

This Wednesday at 6PM

This week we are going to sketch on Main street in Sayville near the Starbuck's.  There is plenty going on, well lit at nght for those that want to stay and take advantage of the nice evening we are expecting tomorrow......you can pick either side of the street to sketch.   This would be a good night to try the night sketch/painting challenge.
