What we’re about
We get together on weekends to wander around San Francisco, sketching people and places, natural and urban. We usually sketch for 2-3 hours, then sit down in a cafe to share sketches and chat. Sometimes we join up with other sketching groups or do field trips outside the city. Everyone welcome.

Our next Marin Sketchers Meet Up will be at the magnificent 100-year-old campus of St. Vincent’s, which sits on 780 acres of land off Hwy. 101, between San Rafael and Novato. There's a lot to sketch. The architecture of the buildings are an interesting combination of Gothic Revival and Mission Revival. The Most Holy Rosary Chapel is beautiful and ornate. Several schools located here, including the St. Vincent’s School for Boys, the Marin Montessori Jr. High and the Marin Dance Theatre. We're allowed to sketch anywhere on the campus, except in areas that are shown as under repair. Here's some history, FYI.
This is the fourth event of Marin Sketchers. Let's meet up at 10:00am in front of the church. This is also where we'll throw down sketches at noon.
