Every Day Life Sketch Exhibit

Come see what PAC's Sketch Club members have been doing in this delightful show for the Grand Opening of the Paper Cup Studio.

This Wednesday and this Thursday

This Wed at 6:30 PM we will be assembling at the end of Blue Point Avenue in Blue Point NY.  There is a dock area/ beach and people fishing that make good subjects.  Off to the side, there are a few homes that we have sketched before that have some nice gardens in the front.

Hope to see you there.

Also, This Thursday from 5-9 PM is Alive After Five in Patchogue.  We are going to set up a table and sketch Alive After Five.  If you love to sketch people, this is a great event to do that.  We are going to have a table set up in front of the court house so we welcome to come sketch and help us to inform and educate the public about our group.

July 23, August 6 and August 20 - Alive After Five in Patchogue

Folks,
We will be sketching again at Alive After Five in Patchogue 5-9PM.  We will be setting up a table down by the courthouse (150 W Main St, Patchogue, NY 11772) again and we'll display the wonderful banner that Jen's boss gave us to advertise our group.  Feel free to bring sketches or sketchbooks to display.  Each week we will be picking a different activity to do.  Anyone that can help me this year, please let me know.  I would really appreciate the assistance.  The dates are July 23, August 6 and August 20.

Please see http://www.aliveafterfive.com

Different this year: Those weeks with ALIVE AFTER FIVE we will be having TWO sketch nights, the regular Wednesday and the ALIVE AFTER FIVE Thursday.

Sketch the Great South Bay Music Festival

Folks,

This is an annual event in Patchogue this weekend from Friday July 17th to Sunday July 19th.  John and I were down there last night picking our vegetables and weeding our garden patch at the Patchogue Community Garden and while we were doing this we enjoyed the music of Rachel Platten, Christina Perri and Colbie Caillat.  It was awesome to be picking our vegetables and weeding to live music, LOL.  Who's better than us?

I am strongly urging the Patchogue Sketch Club to get out and sketch this event and enjoy the music. You can go to 

http://www.greatsouthbaymusicfestival.com

THERE IS A FEE TO GET INTO THE VIEWING AREA

and see the lineup.  311 is up tonight, I might have to do down there for this one.

PLEASE POST YOUR SKETCHES ON OUR FACEBOOK GROUP PAGE.

This Wednesday, July 1, 6:30PM

Folks, Reminder, we are going to Fire Island Lighthouse tomorrow evening to sketch, Location: Robert Moses Field 5..go all the way to the back where the lighthouse walking path is, technically a boardwalk.   That's where you can park. There should not be a charge for parking after 4PM. I checked the weather and tomorrow evening is supposed to be dry.

What to Sketch:

Along the path there is the dunes and such, you may see an occasional deer.  You can go down to the beach and you can walk to the lighthouse, which is a bit of a hike, but worth it.  You don't have to walk all the way down to the lighthouse to sketch it, it can be seen from many vantage points.

WE ARE ON MEETUP AND FACEBOOK

You can now find us on Meetup.  All outings are posted on Meetup and our Facebook Group
https://www.facebook.com/groups/patchsketch/

and

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.
