November 18 Sketchcrawl - PSU Farmers' Market

Rain or shine, we have a plan for a pre-Thanksgiving sketchcrawl!

If the weather cooperates, we can sketch outdoors around the farmers market. If it's too cold or wet, we can pick up some pumpkins, apples, or other still life-worthy subjects at the market, and draw together indoors.

We'll meet just outside the west entrance to Fariborz Maseeh Hall, which is always open during the farmer's market. The building offers bathrooms, a Case Study coffee shop, and a lovely area downstairs where we can sit and sketch a still life, the building's interior, or each other. 

Also, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at PSU, in the same building, has a stunning exhibit of portraits by Hung Liu right now.

• 10 AM: Meet in front of Fariborz Maseeh Hall on the farmers market side, 1855 SW Broadway, for introductions
• Sketch indoors or out, depending on weather
• 12 noon:  Meet back at the front of the building (or indoors if it's raining) to share our sketches in a (totally optional!) throw-down.

NW 23rd

We had nice weather (not too cold, and not raining) and a good turnout.  We missed peak fall color by a mile, but people found other things to concentrate on.

October 21 Sketchcrawl - NW 23rd

With the hopes of catching some fall color on the tree-lined streets, let's meet on NW 23rd. There's plenty of lovely old architecture, lots of people out and about, and (with any luck, trees are hard to predict), some bright autumn leaves.

• 10 AM: Meet at the NW corner of Kearney and 23rd, either in the parking lot or under the awning over Manor and Mud Puddle Toys, depending on the weather.  (The nearest spots for coffee are Barista, 823 NW 23rd, and Spielman Bagels, 2314 NW Lovejoy.)
• Noon: Sketchbook throwdown at the same place. (This is totally optional, but even if you're not ready to share, come and look at everyone else's sketchbooks!)

This is two blocks from the west end of the NS streetcar line, and the 15 and 77 are also close.

Hope to see you there!

N. Mississippi

A goodly group, with some new faces and a couple of visitors.  Sunny, but not too hot.
