Join us for the next SE Sketch at Slow Pour Coffee + Bar in Sellwood on Thursday, November 12 from 5 to 6:30 pm. It's Open Mic night at Slow Pour so we'll have a good opportunity to sketch musicians and performers in motion. Slow Pour is located at 7727 13th Street in Sellwood, and is easily accessible via bike or bus. Food and beverages available. See you there.
Let's go back to PSU in November. The farmers market will be there, and there's likely to be fall color. In case of rain, we can go inside Fariborz Maseeh Hall, which is open to everyone and has restrooms and coffee. There may also be a gallery open at the new Art Building, two doors to the south.
10 AM: Meet at Fariborz Maseeh Hall, 1855 SW Broadway, on the farmers market side, for introductions
Sketch indoors or out, weather depending
12 noon: Meet back at the same place to share our sketches in a (totally optional) throw-down.
We decided to continue the Drink and Draws at the Lucky Lab through the winter, moving indoors, I think.
5-7pm on Monday, Nov 2
Lucky Labrador Beer Hall, 1945 NW Quimby
Well, the weather was a little iffy, but it didn't actually rain on us. A big thanks to everyone who turned out, and especially to the new people.
We had a lovely evening sketching the seasonal decor at the 1847 Food carts in Milwaukie. We were joined by a visiting sketcher from Bend and her Portland area sketching friends so hopefully we'll see all of them again at our meetups. Several interested onlookers inquired about our group too.
Join us for the next SE Sketch on Oct 12 from 5 to 6:30 pm at the 1847 Food Carts in Milwaukie. We'll enjoy the glorious fall weather in a lovely setting with food carts, lots of seating, a firepit, and a three story tap room. The location is easily accessible via bike on the path heading south from Sellwood. A bus stops nearby about two blocks away. The address is 1925 SE Scott Street. See you there.
Copied from the PSU events calendar, thinking that some of us would be interested:

There are restrooms at Floyd's, and at New Seasons, at 20th and Division.
Note that there's a distinct lack of outdoor seating. If you're not into standing, you might want to bring a stool. Also, there's not much in the way of rain shelter. We're going to try it anyway, hoping that the autumn rains hold off a bit longer, but keep that in mind.
5-7pm on Monday, Oct 5
Lucky Labrador Beer Hall, 1945 NW Quimby
Maybe inside, maybe outside. We'll see what the weather's like.
ART BOAT! Ten adventurous sailors set forth on the Willamette in an electric boat from Portland Electric Boat Company to sketch from the river. We had a great time & hope to do it again soon. If you want to join us in our seafaring (well, riverfaring) adventures, stay tuned!
