Talk Art Invitation for June 7, 2025 at The Hub
Join me at the Hub on Canal, Saturday, June 7th from 1 to 2 pm. I’ll be giving a talk about urban sketching. It’s not just drawing buildings—it’s about capturing what’s around you. Maybe it becomes a memory, or even a story. I’ll go over some basic techniques and lead a short class so you can try it yourself.
While you’re at the Hub, take a look at my display wall. I’ve added new artwork, including note cards and framed 5×5 original watercolors. You might find something special to take home.

May was a great month for classes at Trinity Lutheran Church. We continued urban sketching, using work by UK artist, Ian Fennelly for inspiration. Drawing New York street scenes—especially the Brooklyn Bridge—was a fun challenge. We used pens to plan our layout: starting with a light gray brush pen, then adding detail with a fine liner, and finishing with watercolor.

Classes at Trinity continue on Mondays from 12:30 to 3:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall. June classes begin on the 2nd. We’ll focus on landscape sketching this month. All levels are welcome.
Thank you for your interest–and Happy Fathers Day!
