The Westchester Division of the NYC Urban Sketchers has teamed up with the Larchmont Public Library to provide a fun and relaxing drawing event ‘en plein air’ or ‘in the open air.’ This this event is meant to be an opportunity for people to relax, create art and make new friends.
At 10 AM there will be a quick meet and greet on the front lawn of the Library. From there, participants will choose a spot on the lawn (or anywhere around the building) and begin sketching/drawing their surrounding scenery. The group will break for lunch at 12:30 PM and reconvene at 1 PM for a Show and Tell to share what everyone has created thus far. After that, everyone is welcome to continue sketching at their leisure until 3pm.
