Urban Sketch Crawl

Urban Sketch Crawl
Sunday October 21
2 pm - 4:30 pm

Meet at Old Soul on 35th Street and Broadway

Bring sketching materials and $ for a cup of the best coffee in town

It's a great way to spend a few hours, drawing with a number of other people who also enjoy drawing. Art generally a solitary activity, and it's a great change of pace to actually make art with other people who are making art.
Another great POP UP Friday.  Working big and working quickly allowed us to free ourselves from our inner critic and just create and express.  We did 4 poses with our lovely model during the 3 hour session.  So much fun!!!!  Next POP UP is Oct. 13.  Next POP UP after that will be in November and we decided to do 3-4 poses during these sessions because it's so much fun.
