Please note that the meeting is on Tuesday this month, and not our usual Monday.

At this meeting, Larry Gilbert will pose for us in Indian garb. This should be a lot of fun, as we have never before sketched from a live model at a meeting.

Bring your sketch pad or paper, charcoal or pencil!

Yours truly (your humble president) will attempt to show you how to tackle the sketch. I have to warn you that portraits are NOT my forte, so don’t expect great end results! I will, however, be able to show you how to lay out the figure on the paper; how to use forms, i.e., squares, rectangles, circles, etc., to achieve the proper proportions, etc. If you have never attempted this before, now is the time to give it a try! —Jan Catalogna

We usually don’t meet in June, July or August, but this year we will begin adding outdoor painting and sketching sessions in local areas in these months. One trip will be to Mingo Creek Park covered bridge. This is about 45 minutes away and is a beautiful setting … we’ll pack a lunch for this one. There are rest room facilities there and ample parking.
