Art club is going to be meeting down on the riverfront this month at the pavilion. We’re going to be trying out urban sketching en plein air. We will supply the usual supplies of watercolors, acrylics, pens, pencils, and papers. There is seating down there, but depending on what or where you want to paint, you may want to bring a folding chair with you. We recommend a bottle of water or two, maybe one for drinking and the other for cleaning brushes.
