This Wednesday from 6:30 PM to 8 PM

Tomorrow evening, we are going to sketch at Roast Coffee and Tea Company on Main Street in Patchogue…..it’s a few doors west of the theater.  

Next week, I reserved the room at Michaels again.  I was thinking about doing a homemade sketchbook workshop for those who have requested it and for those who don’t want to make a sketchbook, come and sketch.

So let me know who’s interested in making a homemade sketchbook…..I will send you a list of what you need to bring plus you can pick up some items at Michaels, too.

Dick Blick carries needles, book binding thread, book cloth.  I can do simple books or I can show you how I did my mat board covered book.

This Wednesday canceled due to the storm cleanup

Folks,
I am going to cancel tomorrow evening because we'll still be recovering and digging out.  Since we sketch in the evenings, it's not worth risking a broken bone slipping on ice....who does that??   Oh wait, that would be me.

Anyway, SNOW is here.  Get your booties out and sketch.  Post your sketches on our FB Group Page.  Don't like the cold?  Your house has windows, right?  Sketch what you see out the window.  Post them on FB...this is a totally awesome storm to sketch.  Take adavantage of sketching the snow while it is still here.


I will be going out during the day to sketch so feel free to text me if you want to meet up and sketch or paint the snow.

This Wednesday we are going to be using the craft room at Michaels on Sunrise Hwy to sketch.  We’ll be doing a still life so bring some items to sketch.  

The address is 499 Sunrise Hwy W in Patchogue….it’s right next door to the new Dick’s Sporting Goods.  

It’s Free, I found out from Amy that they loan their room out for gatherings such as ours.

See you folks there!

This evening from 6:30 to 8:30 PM

Folks, we’ll be sketching at Panera, on Sunrise HWY near the Pier 1 in Bohema.

We are running out of indoor places to sketch so if you know of a place that would be a good idea, let me know.  

Panera is big enough to handle us…I’ll probably be sitting by the fireplace again.
