Weekday Urban Sketchers in Coney Island


The Boardwalk, the beach, the ocean, the rides and people, people, people, and did I mention yet another of NYC's carousels!   This week's meeting will take us to the edge of the city for a chance to see a very different urban scene filled with sea, sand and sunshine (if we are lucky).  Let's go before it gets too hot to be out in the sun and too crowded to be able to sit and sketch!

We will meet in front of Coney Island USA, the museum of Coney Island.  From there we will do a sketch crawl that will include the color and craziness of the amusement area and then the (relatively quite) boardwalk and beach.  Bring your lunch or get a world hot dog at Nathan's.  Pack you brightest colors, a stool, a hat and sunscreen and join us at the end of the subway line.....on the beach.
