Sketch Meetup Sunday 11/13/22 10:30am at The Square in West Palm Beach

Hello Sketchers!

This Sunday 11/13 at 10:30 we will be sketching at the Square (Formerly City Place) in West Palm Beach.

We'll meet by the stairs in front of the Harriet Himmel Theater before heading out to find our spots to sketch in. There is plenty to sketch here. It has architecture, people, food trucks and a lot of activity. We will sketch until 1 and then meet back up in front of the theater for a quick show and tell and a group photo. Sunday looks to be sunny with a high of 83 degrees. Sunscreen and a hat are good ideas so you don't get burned as well as a bottle of water.

So come join us for some sketching and camaraderie! All levels are welcome and encouraged to come out and join us!!

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
