The Schmoozes are a great place for chapter illustrators to gather to share inspiration, techniques, critique current projects and enjoy the company of other illustrators of children’s books.
Here are the dates for our 2019/2020 season Schmoozes:
Sept 19 – Email Lisa (email address below) as this schmooze will be off campus and she will need to email you the address.
Oct 24—changing from 17th. I am waiting to hear from model guild to confirm. Opera sketch night is 16th.
Nov 21 – There is an exhibit by Brian Kesinger, illustrator, sculptor and animator. I put in a request for a docent tour. That is tentative because they usually aren’t there late, but they put in a request for us. Bring your sketchpad, and pencils too. It is always great to sketch from an accomplished artist work. Hope you join us on the 21st! For more info on Brian Kesinger click here.

If anyone would like to lend us their children to draw 🙂 Or a niece or nephew, friend? it would be great fun to have them. We can have some art supplies for them or if they’d like to do homework, read… any age is welcome. We can help watch them while we all draw.
