Lorin Willey coming to Milwaukee Sketch Club

From: Arthur Bartkowiak <artbartkowiak@gmail.com>

 Subject: March 1

Extra, extra!  We're having Lorin Willey come to our session as a
mentor and will demo on our palettes and walk around and talk and help
with our efforts, both on portrait side and figure side. So bring your
painting toys and open attitude for a new experience.  We're bringing
some wine and if some folks want to bring some snacks that would be
great.   This session will be similar to Lorin's painting studio where
members pay and receive his encyclopedic knowledge.
         Mr. Willey is also doing our critique on March 8.

Milwaukee Sketch Club at Southridge Mall 2/9/16

Malls are quite lively places and fun to sketch at. We entered the food court on the West End of the mall next to Sears on the ground floor. Warmer in the center. Chilly breeze at counters along the outside. Coffee from Subway about $1.72


A group of men were playing cards and a group of women were doing cross stitch? embroidery? So quite scenic.







Next week we plan to go on Tuesday 2/16/16 at about 9am to Mayfair Mall food court.
