SUNDAY: Sketching the Boat Pond

Sunday May 22, 2016

Always loved the Central Park Boat Pond.  It’s such a peaceful family spot, with families and friends posing all day long in charming vignettes against beautiful backgrounds.  What sketcher wouldn't be inspired?

If you think of the pond as a clock with 12 o’clock on the north side and the boathouse and snacker at 3 o’clock - we’ll meet at 9 o’clock, on the west side of the pond - the spot with the best view.  Although there are benches, your options are always better if you bring a stool or chair.

We’ll meet at 10 AM and consider lunch at noon.  There are many vendors and food options for a highly social picnic on site.  We hope to stay until 3 PM.

Looking at the map - the Boat Pond is labeled Story Telling which happens at the statue of Hans Christian Andersen located about 100 feet from our meeting place.   The closest entrance is at East 72 St.
