THURSDAY February 8, 2024: Westchester Sketchers at The Westchester Mall

 


The Westchester is the ultimate shopping destination for the Metropolitan New York Region. This high-end shopping mall is a work of art with spectacular glass skylights and marble columns. With total sky lighting above marble and carpeted floors below, commissioned sculptures, and fantastic customer service, all the amenities of Madison and 5th Avenue, are available under one roof.



This week we will practice sketching people - our fellow sketchers, shoppers in the Mall, the Food Court, etc.  If you prefer, you can try your hand at sketching the many statues, mannequins and upscale storefronts or architecture in the Mall.
