In the early days of the pandemic we got an event suggestion from Ryan Mahoney. It seemed like a good idea to bring our focus of our virtual sketching a little closer to home and Ryan’s proposal sounds interesting. Here is the gist of what he proposed:
On Saturday you’ll be given a map with many interesting places highlighted. Each sketcher will choose a street view location in Google Street View Maps - NYC as their starting point. Our focus is going to be Greenwich Village, which includes many different neighborhoods. Each area has a different feel and look, so we should end up with loads of interesting sketches.

Here are the suggested rules:You can move no more than 3-4 clicks in any direction - (NSEW) away from the starting point - Paint from any angle (flat, vertical, 3d pan & zoom, etc.) By limiting ourselves to 3 to 4 clicks we stay in the original neighborhood exploring the area with our art.
For anyone unfamiliar with Google Street View we’ll do a demonstration to help you get started.
