SUMMARY:South Central Sketch Up June
DESCRIPTION:Let’s go!\nCome out for our September Sketch Crawl!\n\nWHEN:\nSaturday\, June 20\, 2026\nWHERE: \nWe’ll meet LOCATION TO BE DETERMINED \nTIME:\nSketch Crawl 11:00 AM-1:00  PM\nSketch Throwdown 1-2 PM\, location to be determined. \nInvite a friend\, see you there! \n\nINVITE A FRIEND(S)\, SEE YOU THERE! \nGroup Contact: James Hamrick – Architect \n\n\nPO Box 20638\nYork\, PA 17402\n\n717/891.2681\njim@hamrickarchitect.com\n\nPlease visit the group’s site on Facebook (South Central PA Urban Sketchers) for more info about the group\, announcements\, and photos. Invite a friend and Hope to see you Saturday! \n_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________\nThe main focus of an urban sketchers chapter is for everyone to meet up in a city or town…go out…and…sketch! These gatherings are called “Sketch Crawls.” We would rotate through different regional cities and small towns\, at this point maybe once a month. These would typically be held on Saturdays or Sundays. We would meet on a designated day at a designated time at a designated place. Then everyone would scatter to sketch for about 2 hours\, say 11 AM-1 PM. \nWe would then gather at a local craft brewery\, grab drinks and snacks\, and have a “Throwdown.” The Throwdown is where everyone lays out their sketches side by side…everyone walks around and looks at all the sketches…hangs out and talks sketching. Then rinse…repeat…next month! \n A few very important items: \n\nYou do not need to be a polished trained artist to participate. I expect from beginners to veterans to participate. You just have to enjoy sketching!\nSketches do not need to be a finished drawing\, ready for framing. These are sketches! Some people may spend two hours on a single sketch. Others may do two or three sketches in the allotted time.\nYou can use ANYTHING to produce your sketches…watercolor\, pen and ink\, pencil\, pastel\, dip pens\, twigs and ink\, markers\, and on and on.\nThe Throwdowns and discussion and camaraderie at the end are TOTALLY NONJUDGEMENTAL…and fun! Any and all comments will be constructive. I have never been involved with a group more accepting and helpful and welcoming than urban sketchers. Do NOT worry about being bad\, being judged\, or not being good enough.
