The Patchogue Sketch Club was created for the purpose of getting people together to discover the value of sketching. Sketching itself is its own art form, sketching helps artists "see" better and enhances drawing skills. Sketching is also a fun way of recording the world around us much more intimately than a camera. The Patchogue Sketch Club Outings are open to everyone and there is no fee, unless the venue where we are sketching charges a fee for admission.

Sketch Group canceled for tonight
Folks, I am canceling this evening due to the weather...they say it's supposed to clear up but I don't see it happening yet, so we'll postpone this outing to next week.

New Sketch Showcased
If you haven't noticed, the picture for the blog has changed. Tom DeGruyl, a long time Patchogue Sketch Club member, has done this beautiful sketch of a bird's nest. We figured, with Spring in full swing...this nice sketch of Tom's would be great to use as the main blog photo.
This Wednesday June 13th at 6:30PM
It looks like it might be a rainy day. Rainy days are tough to schedule.
The Village of Patchogue is changing. Before some of these changes take affect....I am going to suggest sketching on Main Street in Patchogue this week...if it's chilly, you can stop in Roast or Queen City Cupcakes for a coffee...or Quench/Brick House Brewery if you'd like to be warmed up in a different way.
"Boundaries" will be Quench to the Theater/Library and South Ocean to the Garden on Terry Street.
If you'd like, we can all meet at Roast at 8PM to show each other what we've done.
I am suggesting this sketch night in Patch because we are recording what we see in our sketches and the Village is taking on a new face...we are recording history in a way, so let's use this Wednesday to sketch the changes going on. If it's raining, you can duck in any of the businesses to sketch from the inside, out.

Watching the weather, looks like there's a chance of thunderstorms...we'll take a chance and sketch down by the Maritime Museum in Sayville. This way if it rains, you can sketch from your car.

This week we will be sketching at the very end of Blue Point Ave, by the water. There is a Gazebo and some marsh that make it a nice place to sketch, there are also some nice sunsets here. There are also some cute houses right in the vicinity as well.
We'll meet around 6PM. Bring the insect repellent just in case.
