Merrily We Roll Along!

Let's Sketch

Boats!

Sunday, June 6

12 PM - 3 PM

Hosted by

Gail Dokucu, Rachel Pasch Grossman,

and Urban Sketchers Chicago

Here's a prompt for good weather and a fun location.

Let's look for boats to sketch, from dinghies to freighters, from sunfish to schooners, from tall ships to toy boats.

Settle yourself by a marina, a dock, a river, and sketch a vessel. Extra credit for sketching *in* a boat, which some of our kayaking friends have done.

While this prompt may seem to favor our lakeside members, landlubbers like me have a chance to find our way to new ports of call, and/or broaden our notion of what is a boat.As long as the sketch follows our urban sketching guidelines, we'll take that rubber duck in your bathtub or a leaf floating down a stream. 

Wishing you fair winds and following seas!
