Small Town Urban Sketching

Enjoy a relaxing afternoon capturing the unique historic architecture and small town charm of Lawrence's Massachusetts Street. We will meet at 1pm at the parking garage on New Hampshire across from the Lawrence Art Center. From there we will stroll downtown, learn a little about Lawrence's turbulent history and select a view to engage in some urban sketching. Participants will be provided with a take home kit containing all the materials needed enjoy and document our quaint and historic downtown: urban sketching tips, water color paper, clip board, 15 color paint set, water brush and art pen.

Around 3 pm we will meet up at my air conditioned studio (721 E. 9th) for light snacks and refreshments. Here I will teach you Japanese Stab Style book binding to collect all your sketches into a small book.

Bring a sun hat, sun screen and a water bottle to the downtown meetup.

​
