Well I finally finished the Milwaukee Sketch Club's Plein Air Schedule
http://milwaukeesketchclub.blogspot.com/2014/05/milwaukee-sketch-club-summer-plein-air.html
I sent out the survey before I went to Poland in April, but only 2 people replied so I made my best guess as to what everyone would like. (Didn't get much chance to sketch in Poland, so that was a bit of a disappointment.)
I figured Tuesday evenings were really popular last year for the Milwaukee County Crew, so tried to keep everything centrally located and partially towards east and southern areas where I think a lot of people are based. Whatever I thought people would like. Since we are already coming on Tuesday nights people are in the habit of sketching on that evening. Also places where I thought it would be relatively safe to paint in the evening. Someone at the sketch club banquet asked me about painting at Forest Home Cemetery. I think it's ok to paint there during the day, especially morning, but I don't think it would be a good idea in the evening. I also like to pick places where parking is free as I am on a limited budget.
The Waukesha County Crew I just scheduled the day/morning they said was best for them. It surprised me that Friday mornings were best for them.
I had people asking for the guide so I quick finished it and got it out. People seem pretty happy with it. No complaints or comments so far.
It's just a guide anyway. People can paint when, wherever, however they want. Anyone can show up. It a great way to meet people who are not members of the Milwaukee Sketch Club
This is going to be an aimlessly wandering post as I only have 15 minutes to write. Maybe I will go back (hah!) and organize it later.
I decided to use this blog to be more personal and analytical about the plein air painting adventures I go on, kind of a mix of thoughts, so my new goal is to write as soon as possible after painting. Hopefully it will be useful to anyone that stumbles across this blog.
Well that's all for now
