Hi all Vancouver sketchers...

Sketchcrawl 33 - Saturday October 15, 2011.... just over one month from today (Sep 14).
Lets get some ideas for a location and/or subject asap... Anyone got any ideas?

My initial suggestion is Granville Island Market.... Anyone else want to suggest a location?

Vancouver Sketchers.. :wave:

Subject: - for Sketchcrawl 33 Vancouver will be The Granville Island Public Market and adjacent area.
This has lots of things, people and places to sketch, has access to washrooms, restaurants etc and covered areas in case of rain.

Meeting: - Triangle Square opposite the front of the Public Market (see diagram)
Time: - 10am Saturday Oct 15, 2011

Well it seems my first image post from flickr has worked... :think:
I will see about scoping out the area asap... possibly this Saturday morning.
Sorry to be pushy but I found it easier if a time and location is set early otherwise it gets confusing.

Also for those sketchers that cannot make it on the day, please consider doing your own sketching from your location or next day and submit your sketches to this site. We do look forward to seeing all your sketching talents.

Cheers

Obershnaus...

Nice to hear from you and welcome.

This thread is to get things going and to round up the participants. On October 15th, I will create a separate thread under Sketchcrawl33 that will have the heading Vancouver, BC Canada [RESULTS]. This will be where Vancouver sketchers will post their sketches. Enrico has a good thread at viewtopic.php?f=30&t=2224 that explains how to post your sketch images.

Until the actual sketchcrawl day, please check back here for additional information.. and I hope more sketchers signing on.

This is also a fun thing so it is not restricted to serious adult artists. I encourage new sketchers and families to come out to. So if you know anyone who wants to come out and try sketching let them know they are all welcome. Same goes for those that sketch at home that day or away. We are always happy to have them participate.

For those that show up at the location, we get to meet, exchange ideas and comments and share the days sketches over coffee or whatever.

Cheers
Dave

Funny that most people escape work by surfing th' web or face-booking or something when they should be working. We, on th' other hand, sketch!
Sketch on!

I was down at Granville Island Market for a couple of hours this afternoon to scope things out. Here are a few findings:

Lots of benches and seats.. you just need to fight off the tourists and stake your claim for a bench.
No problem for those needing restrooms, refreshments and lunch.
Lots of people to sketch including kids
Usually a couple of singers and musicians around
Things to sketch... Triangle plaza, Outside of Granville Island Market, Inside Granville Island Market (stalls and booths), Aquabus Ferry Dock behind the Market, Granville Bridge, False Creek Skyline, Lots of Power boats and Sail boats.

In general.. lots of interesting stuff. If it rains we can go inside the market and sketch through the windows etc.

Cheers
Dave

Still enjoying the family tree you sent.

Well fellow Vancouverites... only one week to go. :wave:

Unfortunately so far nobody has yet indicated that they will be joining me next Saturday, so I may very well be sketching Solo.
Most of the local sketchers have indicated they are unavailable or out of town that day, but I hope a few will do some remote sketching and post it afterwards.

I still plan on being out there on Saturday Oct 15th, rain or shine. I will have a black medium sized messenger bag with bright green interior with me carrying my sketching kit.
If it is raining :( , I will probably be at the rear of the Public Market (by the Public Market Courtyard) sketching out the window by the "A la Mode" restaurant.
If it is dry :) , I will start by sitting in the Triangle in front of the Public Market.

Hope someone comes out so that I am not lonely.
Cheers
Dave

Thanks, Cyber Dave! I'll relay your message (altho Mary checks this page often).
Thanks for the tanks, too. I might have mentioned my brother David Fletcher worked on the M60 A and M60 A 1 at Ft. Knox engineering when they had problems with the turbo in the desert. Another kind of "Arrow-Making". I sent the tank on to him, he laughed.
There IS a large alligator in the park where our group is scheduled to go for Sketchcrawl 33!
BTW I see you are now a Big Wig moderator with lots of notches on your (green) pencil :thumbup: Congrats! ...didn't that happen rather suddenly? I am green with envy :mrgreen: you don't even have as may posts as I have boo hoo
I look forward to seeing your crawl results soon.

Hi Cyber Dave,
Just letting you know, I've posted 4 more images at Tallahassee Florida USA [RESULTS]
Thanks for your interest and patience! :lol:
Glad you've got your green pencil back, with no "pips" removed as punishment for your little mistake! (I thought they were "toothmarks" ):lol:
