A lot of people seem excited about joining together to draw the City but the weather continues to be soggy; so, for comfort's sake, we're going to postpone the SketchCrawl until the weekend after this, Sunday, the 23rd of October. Anyone interested in joining us, meet at 9 a.m. under Washington Square Arch at the lower end of Fifth Avenue.
We'll make our way through the West Village and up through the Meat Packing District and over to the Hudson. We'll keep each drawing stop to twenty minutes or so, and wrap things up by noon. It's not an ultra hard core trek but we should manage to get off a half dozen or more solid drawings.
I'm sure it'll be loads of fun and would love to plan another one next month.
For those who like gear, I'd recommend a pen, some paper, and, if you're soft bottomed like me, something to sit on. I see that EMS on Broadway is selling nice, inexpensive folding stools, the packseat and the BYER OF MAINE TriLite Folding Stool for just $20. You can get them online or in the SoHo store. Or sit on the floor or a stoop or someone else's shoulders. My pal Roz, who's quite short, always stands when she draws. I plan to stay in my sedan chair.
For those aging and absent-minded like me, I shall re-post this announcement late next week.
See you there!
