This Sunday Join the Sketchers at the West Palm Waterfront!

Upcoming Event This Sunday! Sunday October 30th 11:00 am West Palm Beach Waterfront We will meet up at corner of Clematis St and Flagler in front of Bradley's. We can branch out from there. We will meet back up around 1pm for show and tell. This area has so much to offer a sketcher. Big buildings and skyline, water and boats as well as the hustle and bustle of Clematis Street and the surrounding neighborhood. There is no membership required to sketch with the sketchers.  No experience required.  Just show up with a pad and pencils (or whatever you chose to sketch with).

Urban Sketchers Manifesto We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation. Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel. Our drawings are a record of time and place. We are truthful to the scenes we witness. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles. We support each other and draw together. We share our drawings online. We show the world, one drawing at a time.

Sometimes you just have to enjoy the time with sketching friends....

 Bad sketches happen

Hi-

Carl here.  I had a bummer of a sketch today.  I was working in watercolor at The Four Arts Garden.  My pencil drawing looked great!  It had lively lines and fairly represented the entry to the Chinese Garden from the inside.  The painting did not work.  I brought a different paint set than I normally sketch with and my colors were off and the palette was way to big so I was off kilter the whole time.  I'm only writing this as a reminder to everyone it happens from time to time.  Even folks who sketch 50-100 times a year can have an off day.  What do I do when it happens.  Laugh it off.  Visit with my sketching pals and remember we are outside at a beautiful location.  It's ok to have an off sketch or two or three nobody is keeping score.

Keep on  Sketching

Carl

10/19/22 Sketching at the Breakers - Palm Beach

The Breakers 

On Wednesday 10/19 a group of around ten of us sketched in the HMF space and the Circle at the Breakers.  Thank you to Megan Body and the staff at the Breakers for accommodating us.  They even said they'd love to schedule another time for us to sketch after season.  Below are a few of the sketches from Wednesday
