Next Meeting - May 15, 2013

 Well a lot has happened since the last post. On May 1 we had our meeting at the Brickhouse, exchanged our sketchbooks and marveled over what people had done so far. Great! Then we headed over to Greenhorn Park and spent a pleasant morning sketching, being serenaded by ducks and geese. It was great to get out after being cooped up all winter!

 Yesterday we met at the statue in Montague and then headed over to the Shasta Valley Wildlife Area. Unfortunately in our haste to start our day of sketching we left a few minutes early and missed one of the members who wanted to join us. Sorry Cynthia!!! So we will be scheduling a special 'make-up' event of Cynthia's choosing. Stay tuned here for details. We had a lovely day out sketching with boaters and fishermen on Trout Lake. We can't wait to go back and try some other locations in the Wildlife Area. If you have any suggestions for places to go to sketch, please let us know so we can put them on the calendar.

Beautiful Day at Trout Lake

We have been asked to create a display for the Yreka Art Walk showcasing our group and its work. Work is in progress and the final display will be posted here for all to see. I hope you will come to the Art Walk on Friday,  May 17, 2013 in downtown Yreka. The event starts at 5 p.m. and continues until 8 p.m. Rumor has it that a live model sketching session will be happening at the old Yreka Seed and Feed building (across from the Brickhouse) that evening and it is free all who want to participate. Will post more details here when they are available. 

Our next monthly meeting will be on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 10 a.m. at the Brickhouse Bakery and Pizzeria (313 W. Miner Street, Yreka, CA). Bring your exchange sketchbook with your completed drawing for another switch around. All ages and skill levels welcome. All you need is something to draw with and something to draw on.
