USkKC Saturday Sketch Out

Theme: The Bees Have It!
Location: Messner Bee Farm at 8301 Westridge Road, Raytown, Missouri 64138
Time: 9:00 am – 11:00 am **Note the early start for June's Sketchout**

Meet up location:  9:00 am at the sign-in table in front of the Messner Bee Farm Store and back again at 11:00 am to look at sketches, trade art cards, and take photos.

About Our Hosts: Messner Bee Farm is located in Raytown, MO and only minutes from downtown Kansas City. The family has been in the beekeeping business since 2012 and stays as busy as their bees with local fairs, manning their honey shop on the farm, and hosting events in their historic 1920's Yellow Rock Barn.

Important to Note: A wedding is scheduled at the Yellow Rock Barn when we are there for sketching. The bride usually arrives around 11am, please be aware and mindful of this fact - Thank you!

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!
