MONDAY, January 5, 2025: WESTCHESTER Sketchers Holiday Party and Sketch at the Unitarian Church, White Plains

 Let's KEEP THE HOLIDAY PARTY GOING!

We'll be sketching at the Community Unitarian Universalist Congregation Sanctuary



The holidays may be over but not for us! We will have a sketch event and mini holiday celebration at this beautiful setting. Surrounded by lovely greenery and big windows, delight in staying cozy and capturing nature in your sketchpad. In addition, we will play at being models for each other (optional, you can model if you like).

So bring colorful accessories (hats, scarves, shawls, fans, etc.), a treat or snack and beverage to share with everyone and your artist self!

At 1:00 pm we will all show and talk about our work (optional) and partake of light party snacks.

SHOW and TELL: After lunch.  This is the social part of our day where we share our drawings, tips, and stories. It is a time not to be missed. 

NOTES:
  • It is enormously costly to heat the huge sanctuary area, even for just a few hours.  We request a small donation ($5.00) from all the sketchers to help defray this expense.  We thank you very much in advance for your donation.
  • Watercolor brushes may be used. 
  •  Please, no food or drink in the main sanctuary area.  You may eat or drink in the top part of the sanctuary where there are no rugs.
  • No need to bring stools, there are plenty of chairs.

Please RSVP to Cathy (westchester@nycurbansketchers.org)
