Sketch the Streets of Chinatown!
Sat, Oct 17, 3:00 PMLet's meet in Columbus Park and then venture around to sketch the colorful streets of Chinatown: Doyers, Pell, Mott. There won't be much sitting room available for this one, so we can stand, or if you have a folding art chair, bring it. **We'll meet by the pavilion in Columbus Park.** Any problems on the day of the event, I can be reached at 646-831-9816. Looking forward to sketching with you! *** IMPORTANT: In case of rain, I will let people know early in the morning if it is canceled, and then reschedule for another day. *** What makes our Meetups different from other art groups and classes? There's no instruction, but we like to share our work, and chat and be inspired. Share tips and learn from people in a casual environment where all levels of artists are welcome! Don't be shy to ask anyone anything! • We sketch for a bit, usually 45 minutes or so, and then get back together and share our drawings, and then sketch again, etc. There's usually time for 3 sketches. • Please bring your own supplies - anything you like to work with - pens, pencil, watercolor, pastel, small sketchbook or large paper, iPad, whatever suits you. • We hand out nametags so everyone can meet one another! • We take photos to share on the site later. Take a bunch! • Sorry, but please leave the dogs at home; they tend to step on the artwork. Thanks. • The Meetup is FREE and everyone at all skill levels is welcome! *** Please note that if you add a comment below it will spam everyone with an email, so please use your judgment.

Sat, Oct 3, 6:00 PMJoin us for a 2-hour, beginner-friendly sketching workshop in the **Brooklyn Botanic Gardens (BBG)** past the ticket check of the ***455 Flatbush Ave entrance*** (corner of Flatbush Ave & Empire Blvd). Led by local artist Anna Balk, we’ll practice observing and recording plant forms through quick silhouette exercises, visual studies, and two guided drawing sessions. Throughout, we’ll talk about what we’re seeing and sketching. *Subject to favorable weather conditions (in the event of inclement weather, the workshop will be rescheduled).* NOTE: *The workshop is free, but **participants are responsible for** getting Brooklyn Botanical Gardens **admission** and bringing their own **workshop supplies.*** **Workshop supplies:** Please bring * a pencil, * sturdy paper or sketchbook (something you can write and draw on without the need for additional surfaces), and * an eraser. Participants should be: * **18+** years of age (children aged 12 to 17 are welcome if they’re accompanied by an adult who can supervise them during the workshop) * Able to communicate in **English** * Prepared to **move around** the garden for 2 hours and **stand for short intervals** (up to 30 min) as portable seats other than wheelchairs aren’t permitted – the garden is mostly wheelchair accessible and accessible routes will be used as needed Expect mindful observation, practical technique tips, and at least two completed study sketches among the blooms. The event is limited to **10 attendees**. Please accurately change your RSVP status to allow others to take your spot if you are not able to attend. *We recommend getting BBG tickets online ahead of time, since the ticket lines can get long on good weather weekend days.* ***NOTE:*** *"No show" attendees will not be able to register for this or future free events in this group. Please update your RSVP if you are unable to attend.* This workshop is designed with different modalities for different number of attendees. I am happy to host it for just 1 attendee, but I would like to come prepared for the right workshop size, so I can optimize the experience for the people who show up.
