California Art Club: San Francisco Bay Area Chapter Quarterly Paint-Out!

Hey everyone,

Gerald and I are both busy this Sunday, and the last Sunday of the month is Easter, so we decided to postpone it(unless someone wants to step up and organize their own Meetup?). In the meantime, this Saturday is the California Art Club paint-out. All are invited! You don't need to be a member to show up. Old Lakeville Road was a popular place when we organized our own meet-up here, so this should be a fun get-together.

San Francisco Bay Area Chapter Quarterly Paint-Out!

You may stay to paint more after lunch.

Urban Sketchers Mapping Project

I don't know if this is something other people want to do...but I'm kind of a nerd, so I thought it was fun to plot the best of my San Francisco sketches in a Bing Maps collection.
