Weekday Urban Sketchers at Cast Hall
This week we will visit another hidden treasure of NYC. Tucked away in the Mechanics and Tradesman Building on 44th St off 5th Ave is the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art that holds a fantastic collection of casts (molds or models) of famous statues and architectural elements. The top floor room, flooded with light from the skylight and lemon yellow walls, hold the a sample of the collection and is lined with tables and chairs making sketching an easy task. Unlike our usual outdoor perches you can bring your big sketchbook and watercolors to capture the elements in the room. You might also want to go into the lobby and hallways to sketch the stairwells, railing and stained glass in the lobby.
DATE: THURSDAY NOVEMBER 16, 2017
START TIME: 10:30 AM
LOCATION: 20 WEST 44TH STREET
TRANSPORTATION: B, D F, M to 42nd Street/ Bryant Park
