Boston Sketch Group!

**ArtEdGradStudent** · November 30th, 2006, 08:23 PM

For whoever's interested I have tomorrow free, so I'm heading to the Museum of Science with a sketchbook and some pencils. I'm gonna spend the whole day drawing from that exhibit Bodyworks. Anyone who's interested can meet me there.

Hey man, if you can stay there really late I will try to get there at 6PM by commuter rail. Send me your cell # via PM if you get a chance.

Actually I might be all tired out by then, plus that's when my wife get's home from work. We'll see, and I do have your cell phone, but no promises. I can call you tomorrow sometime for an update. Afterwards, I'll try and post my sketches for a critique here. Man, it's too bad I'm working this Sat, or I'd go straight to the Fogg's drawing room and ask for lots of sketches on anatomy.

**Seedling** · December 1st, 2006, 07:56 AM

Hey Darkwolf, thanks for the PM! I could perhaps be talked into a meetup sometime.

Ooh, ArtEdGradStudent, I wish I could meet you today at Bodyworks. I have GOT to see that exhibit! If you go today, will you give us a report on the exhibit and crowd conditions?

I may regret yet another extracurricular with the pile of stuff I'm already planning to do, but if anybody wants to get together on a Saturday, I might be able to come.

**Jason Snair** · December 21st, 2006, 11:39 AM

Alright guys and gals

Who's up for some Boston sketching. Come on. New Year...new sketching.

Let's meet up sometime. I know the next two weekends are probably off...but how about early Jan sometime? Start the new year off right.

I'm in Brookline right near Coolidge Corner.

**blankslatejoe** · December 21st, 2006, 12:10 PM

you know I'm down for it, Jason. I haven't had time to organize any drawing events myself, but I'd love to come sketch out in the city--might be able to drag a few of the guys from work too!

But yeah, this weekend and next are tricky, but I'll be watching things here. Somehow I keep getting unsubscribed from this thread!

**Onir** · December 21st, 2006, 12:14 PM

I'd love to go out drawing with you guys; I'm not gonna be back in the Boston area until around the 20th of January or so, but I'd definitely be down for something. Lemme know if anything happens!

**darkwolfb87** · December 21st, 2006, 12:54 PM

Yeah just keep this thread updated, any weekend works for me.

**darkwolfb87** · January 4th, 2007, 05:24 PM

Weekend's coming up.. is anyone free?

**Jason Snair** · January 4th, 2007, 05:43 PM

This Sunday is looking free for me. Saturday I'm helping family move.

**Skulldog** · March 13th, 2007, 11:38 PM

Wondering if anything new was happening with this group? I haven't actually checked CA for local meets since I moved up near Boston. About time I did..

Been pretty bored lately and the weather is finally starting to pick up. Anyone up for a weekend?

**darkwolfb87** · October 10th, 2007, 05:34 PM

Man this thread keeps dying

Let's see...for the college students out there and others who could make it, it'd be great to plan some happenings approximately between Dec. 15 and Jan. 15.

And is anyone from Boston planning on attending the Seattle Workshop? If you are, let me know so we can plan to set the same departure times, meet beforehand, etc.

Thanks!

i would love to go to a sketchgroup in boston... too bad no one met during the summer, it was so nice out this year!

**davi** · October 28th, 2007, 07:59 AM

I'm going to be in Boston from today until next Saturday. I'll be staying at my brother's without transportation of my own, but...

if anyone wants to meet up and do ANYTHING during that week give me a call on my cellphone @ 440-821-8658 and we can see if we can figure something out to do.

I'll be bored on Halloween and I have no costume, but i wanna do something... help.

Ok, hope to hear from someone

I'll be checking my email too at [email protected]

**darkwolfb87** · October 30th, 2007, 10:35 PM

Attempting a visit to the Fogg museum and some exploring of Harvard Square to sketch this Friday, November 2nd. Please post if you are interested!

**davi** · November 1st, 2007, 04:16 PM

davi will be rockin the frog

**Jason Snair** · November 1st, 2007, 05:23 PM

man....sorry, guys. I'd love to join you all. it's been far too long since the last meet up, but i've got work. can't skip out either.

**Seedling** · November 1st, 2007, 05:32 PM

Wooo! Party at the Fogg! I'm in!

**Alex Baer** · November 1st, 2007, 09:12 PM

sure, what time were you planning on going there?

**Onir** · November 1st, 2007, 09:20 PM

gaah I'd be there in a heart beat, but I've got work from 12 - 6 tomorrow and saturday

if anyone wants to go another time I'm definitely down!

**djkitt** · April 23rd, 2008, 08:04 AM

Anyone is Boston still around? I know this thread is old, but if there's a drawing group still going on in Boston I'd love to be a part of it. I draw/paint alone because I don't know anyone else around here that does. I'd really like to find some other people to learn from and create with.

**Shmaba** · May 7th, 2008, 08:59 PM

let's get this thing going again!

i'm lonely...

**Jason Snair** · May 7th, 2008, 09:17 PM

Yeah, it's been a long time.

I'm up a little sketch-groupin'

This weekend I'm not available...but the next I'll be around.

**darkwolfb87** · May 7th, 2008, 09:43 PM

I'm up for the next sketch-group!

Would you guys mind posting your e-mail addresses here? It's much easier to send a mailing list around if something comes up.

~ Stephen

**Shmaba** · May 9th, 2008, 03:23 PM

I forgot this weekend is Mother's Day

I'll be busy with that. Next weekend I should be free...

**blankslatejoe** · June 5th, 2008, 09:06 AM

A couple of us are planning on meeting in Harvard Square, this Sunday! We're planning on hitting up the Harvard Museum of Natural History (http://www.hmnh.harvard.edu/) which is crammed full of great drawing subjects (skeletons, taxidermy specimens,a few live animals, crazy rock formations, glass flowers sea creatures, scale models of famous architecture. It looks like there's a new bug and arthropod exhibit and a glass sea creatures exhibit! Even if you don't draw, there's a ton of stuff to just look at, and it's a great place to bring the kids/family/aging grandmother/etc!

Admission is 9 dollars, and we're meeting at 1 PM at the big Au Bon Pain cafe (as opposed to the smaller one a few blocks away), right next to the Harvard T Stop. It's about a 5 minute walk from the museum. Come fed and ready to draw, we'll be in the museum awhile. Maybe we'll all go grab some food afterwards!

Reply if you're interested!

**Jason Snair** · June 5th, 2008, 09:56 AM

aw, I wish I could go. Doing some BBQing with the family that day. (Kinda of a, uh, Father's Day a week early because I'm not going to be around on the 15th)

we'll definitely all meet up at some point this summer...

**aedman** · June 10th, 2008, 11:00 PM

sorry I didn't see about the Natural History Museum in time, that place is endlessly interesting. Anyone up for it this weekend?

**mickeymao** · June 24th, 2008, 10:46 AM

How silly that I never look at this thread. I'm in Boston, and would enjoy meeting and drawing with a few other folks. Self-employed now, so that's easy, and I may even know some of you by real names, since I worked at about half the game companies around here.

So, perhaps something in July?
