PLEASE USE THE FACEBOOK GROUP

Folks,
To simplify running the sketch group, I will be doing ALL posts to the Facebook group from now on. I will no longer be posting outings on this blog.  If you would like to join us and sketch with us:

Please use this link https://www.facebook.com/groups/patchsketch

You can view the outings on Facebook, however, you need to be part of Facebook to access it.

If you want to join, just click the "Join Group" button on the group page and I will add you.

Why Facebook and not the blog anymore?  Facebook is more interactive.  You can ask questions, comments and post your own sketches to out Facebook group page.  You can't do that the same way on the blog and for that purpose this blog is obsolete and I am moving all communications over to the Facebook group.

Lastly, I need a laptop to post to the blog and I do not need laptop to post outings to Facebook.  Since I am not always near a laptop, but I aways have my phone with me, it makes more sense to do everything on Facebook.

Thanks for your consideration in this change.

Gina

We will be sketching at Michaels in Patchogue this week.  If you wish to come and make a sketchbook with us, please see the Facebook group for all the info and the supplies that you will need to bring.

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 at 7:15PM

We will be sketching at the Phoenix Gallery in Bellport during the SBAA meeting.  They are having a critique night so feel free to bring a piece to be critiqued.

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 6:30 to 8:30 PM

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!
