For SATURDAY: July 22, 2023
There was such a nice breeze sketching last week in Hoboken. The river and a bit of shade made for a wonderful sketch day. I’m tempted to see if we can continue the magic - this time on the New York side of the river.
We’ll be sketching at Pier 1 and the adjacent Riverside Park South. Running from 59th to 71st Street, the park offers some great sketching venues, including an old gantry that was used to unload barges and railroad cars, interesting water features and, at the 72nd street entrance, an elegant statue of Eleanor Roosevelt as you enter the thin park that runs along the river’s edge.

- Be prepared for direct sun and dress accordingly
