Weekday Sketchers Takes a Holiday Break

 One word to sums up the Holiday Season in NYC.....  BUSY! 

To make it a bit easier the Weekday Urban Sketchers will not meet for the next two weeks.   

But starting in January we will be back in full swing.  

Tuesday January 5, 2016:   Sketching meeting. Location TBD.

Wednesday, January 13, 2016: Watercolor Workshop at Kramer Pigments.  

Ever wonder why some watercolors granulate and other don't? Why some are transparent and some are opaque? These and many more questions will be answered as we watch the staff at Kramer mix the basic pigments with various binders that produce an array of resolutions.  This two hour workshop is exclusive to Urban Sketchers.  There is room for only 25 people. There workshop is $10. Many have already signed up but there is room for a few more.

Wednesday January 20, 2016: Wednesday Wednesday Sketch Meeting.  Location TBD.

Friday January 29, 2016:   We have a special invitation to sketch inside City Hall.  Many of the meeting rooms and (potentially) the City Council Chambers will be open for us. We will be able to view/sketch the portrait collection. George Washington's desk, no problem. The beautiful staircase and atrium, its   yours.  There is no cost but you MUST sign up in advance.  The list is almost closed so if you want to attend RSVP ASAP!  Names of attendees will be posted with the guards for security purposes so you must register to gain entrance. 

Wishing you a most joyous holiday season and a happy, healthy and productive New Year,
