Location: Linn Studio

I've always loved to hike and mountain bike this loop. It's got great views and the terrain is both beautiful and challenging. It's about 4 miles total with about 700ft of elevation gain. **I call this one moderate just because of the winding trails up rocky ridge and that most of the 700 ft of elevation gain is in the first two miles,** but I'm always happy to take it easy and slow depending on the pace of the group. Also, half of this hike will be down hill.

Please note that this is a Santa Clara County Park so there's a **$6 parking fee.** You can park for free down the hill, but if it's your first time hiking this trail it's probably best to park with the group in the park until you get a feel for the area.

Also, there's a good chance that I bring my dog Izzy FYI.

Here's a [link](https://parks.sccgov.org/santa-clara-county-park-fees#3925188384-3236192913) to the park info and feel free to leave any questions in the comments or DM me.

Hiking - Rocky Ridge Hike at Santa Teresa Park in San Jose (4 miles, moderate)

Santa Teresa County Park

It's been awhile since we've painted here and I've been itching to go back. McClellan is a nice ranch with a lot of interesting features including, barns, a water tower, and even a creek. Oh and nice clean restrooms.

I recall the parking lot isn't super big here, but if you can't find a spot in the park there's public parking across the street and one just a bit up the road.

What to bring:
• Art Supplies - Bring all of your own art supplies for whatever medium you are using e.g. paints, surfaces, brushes, pencils and cleaning supplies. For any beginners who don't know how to start or have questions feel free to post in the comments section or DM me through meetup.com's message service.
• Easels - If you're painting please bring your easel or whatever you use to paint outdoors.
• Outdoor wear - We will be outdoors for most of 3 hours so bring layers, hats, sunscreen.
• Snacks/food - Most of the locations we paint at don't have food/drinks so bring whatever food/drinks you require.
• Most of the places we paint at have picnic tables or benches, but if you need to sit when you art, be sure to bring something to sit on just in case.
• A good test to ensure you have everything you need is to set up to paint in your own yard for 2-3 hours. If you bring everything it takes to create art in your yard then you'll have everything you need to paint with us :)
• A portable chair if you like to sit. Not all of the locations we paint at have picnic tables or benches.

Extra info:
• We usually paint in public places. People outside of the group will generally come up and see what you're doing. Usually they just compliment and walk by and sometimes they'll stop and chat a bit. For me this took a little getting used to, but I really enjoy it now and it's become one my favorite things about painting and sketching outdoors. Please don't scare anyone away :)
• Observe all signs. Especially the "keep off" ones.
• Stay on paths, but do not block them.
• Empty any painting fluids off-site including dirty water color water.
• Take your garbage with you.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Tonight's Model is: **Jennifer**
The format will be: **Long Pose, Clothed.**

If you haven't done life drawing or painting before it's exactly what it sounds like.

A model will pose for most of three hours and during this time we will capture their likeness as best as we can using our preferred medium e.g. paint, pastels, charcoal, etc.

The venue has chairs, tables, drawing ponies, table easels, and h-frame easels (first come first serve), but you will need to bring any other art supplies and take them with you when you leave.

Another note is that we'll be indoors so for the oil painters only bring in oderless mineral spirits. No Liquin or turpentine please.

Also, this event is not instructor led or a workshop. The fee is for the model and the space rental.

You can pay cash at the event or Venmo, Zelle or Paypal me at kmacinto@gmail.com. Please put your name in the note if you pay electronically. The cost is $20.00. I will collect any outstanding fees at the first model break.

Space is limited so RSVP as soon as you can and if you're not able to make it, please update your RSVP so that someone from the waitlist can attend in your spot.
