Come make pictures of downtown Wichita to share with other sketchers and sketch fans around the world!
Let's meet at the front gate of Naftzger Park (SE corner of Douglas and St. Francis) at 10 AM. You could paint one scene at the park for a couple hours or make many sketches of the various scenes in the area--the park views, the street scene of an historic block of Douglas, a sliver of the Intrust Bank Arena, the Eaton Hotel, locomotives from the transportation museum on the nearby rail overpass, etc.
After a lunch break, we will meet up again at 1:30 PM at the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum (204 S. Main). We are welcome to draw inside the museum for a donation. (Usual adult admission is $4.00.) There are many interesting displays to sketch inside the museum--artifacts from Wichita history, antique toys, a display on the Dockum Drugstore sit-in, French fashions, a Jones automobile, and so on. If you prefer to paint, you could capture elements of the museum building from the shade of the adjacent park.
If you think you will sketch inside the museum, please send me an e-mail so I can give the museum director an estimate of how many sketch crawl participants to expect. E-mail: wwwoofs@yahoo.com
Also, please contact me if you have any questions / concerns. See you there! Mary (aka CrowTalk)
