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.

Tomorrow evening at 6:30PM
Folks,
The studio is open for use tomorrow evening so we are going to sketch at the Paper Cup Studio tomorrow evening. Bring an item for a still life and we'll sketch in the gallery. If it is nice outside, you can sketch outside for a nocturnal, but for the most part it will be dark so we will set up a still life and sketch that. Please bring $5 so we can reimburse LuAnn for use of the space. Why the $5? Heat and electric aren’t free, it’s the least we can do for LuAnn letting us use the space.
I have the key so if I should happen to run late, just wait for me to get there to open the door.
There is coffee and tea, bring a snack.

This Wednesday at 6:30PM
Because of the potential for inclement weather on Wednesday, I am scheduling an indoor sketch at Roast Coffee & Tea Trading Company in Patchogue for this coming Wednesday. Good coffee and tea and if it isn't raining we can sketch on Main Street.
Roast is a few doors west of the Patchogue Theater.

Wednesday 9/23 at 6PM
Folks,
Because it gets dark quickly, we will be sketching on Main Street in Sayville, where the shops are lit up after dark. I put Starbucks as the meeting point but please feel free to sketch anything that catches your eye. We are not limiting the sketch area to Starbucks. There are a few shops, Four Star always has some fun seasonal items out in front of their store, etc. At 7PM, you are invited to come back to in front of Starbucks so we can share what we sketched.
It's been getting chilly in the evenings so dress appropriately.
The Starbucks in Sayville is 59 Main Street.

Sketch Night tonight in Bayport - 6PM
This park does not appear to have a name, we went there in the Spring….it’s in Bayport and here are the directions to it from Montauk Highway and Snedecor Ave in Bayport….William Street is a dead end at the bay. There is a Playground and a place to park and for you Plein Air folks, this is a great spot for sunsets…
We are starting at 6PM tonight because the sun sets early.
There are TWO spots we could be sketching so if we are not on the spot on the bay, turn around and to the right, on the channel, tucked behind houses is a marina, we could be back there. Either way, on the bay would be a sunset view and on the channel are boats, etc.

REMINDER, SKETCH OUTINGS ARE FREE
The Maritime Museum has been a great painting spot for us over the years. The Museum is closed but there is a lot of great sketching subjects, plus for those who want to exercise their plein air skills, it's also a good sunset spot. There's also the golf course and surrounding grounds that are very nice. It should be a nice warm evening this week to sketch by the water and hopefully it will be an awesome sunset.
Folks, the Patchogue Sketch Club is a free group. I paid out of my own pocket to use Meetup, but all outings are free unless the venue we go to requests admission.
Also, please visit our Facebook Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/patchsketch/

Sketch Night On Fire Island
We are going to park at the field closest to the Lighthouse, Field 5, I think, anyway, go to the very end of the parking lot closest to the light house and we'll all be scattered around there.
There is a path you can follow, some folks sketched on the walkway last time we were there.
