May Sketch Out with Urban Sketchers KC

USkKC Saturday Sketch Out

Theme: Cinco de Mayo
Location: Guadalupe Center, 1015 Avenida Cesar Chavez, Kansas City MO
Time: 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Meet up location:  Volunteer table at 11:am to check in and back at 1:00pm to look at sketches, trade art cards, and take photos.

There will be food at the event to enjoy whenever you like. Check out the Guadalupe Center’s schedule of the day’s entertainment: Guadalupe Centers Fiesta. This is a family friendly event.

Please note: if the fiesta is rained out Urban Sketchers will not meet.

Who should attend? Any age. Any skill level. We’re here to have fun, encourage others, and to celebrate individual styles!

What should you bring? Anything will do, many of our members use watercolor, pens, pencils/colored pencils, pastels, and paper that works with that specific medium. The challenge is to be mobile and travel light, you would be surprised about what you can accomplish while limiting your choices. If you are just starting out, student grade or discount brand is perfect.

Trade at the Art Share: a favorite at every meet-up, Artist Trading Cards are 2.5″ x 3.5″ (available pre-made at stores or make your own from paper you already have on hand).  They’re useful in helping you to hone in on your subject, small enough to complete at least one during the sketch event (a real confidence booster), and a means for collecting art from fellow USkKCers.

Be sure to post your sketches to the Facebook page or Instagram with #urbansketcherskc hashtag.

See the world one drawing at a time!
