Drawing Nature in the Field
Sun, Jul 12, 5:00 PMJoin the Green Benefit District for a morning of sketching in the field. We will focus on a local, native plant and possibly the insects attracted to the plant. An overview of the site and instruction for drawing will be provided. In order that one on one time is possible, this fun artistic event is **limited to 15 people**. **Waiver and registration required in advance**. Contact eddie@naturetrip . com for location and additional information. **Suggested supplies to bring:** \- Basic drawing materials… - Pens, pencils, erasers, paper/sketchbook or notebook (thicker paper is better, but we can modulate to whatever people have) - Optional: color materials (watercolors, colored pencils, etc. whatever more experienced attendees might want to make art with!) \- Something to sit on\, like a travel stool or chair\, towel\, or seating pad -Loupe for detailed views \- Weather appropriate clothing \(we can check the weather closer to the date\) \- Generally\, appropriate gear to spending a few hours outside: sun protection\, layers\, closed toed shoes \- Water bottle **BIO:** [Amanda Konishi](https://www.akonishi.com/) is a scientific illustrator and fine artist with a focus on Entomological and Botanical subjects, and a special interest in pollinator ecosystems and gall forming insects. Her record as a fine artist working in abstraction paired with the heavily researched, hyper focused interpretation necessitated by science communication present two distinct bodies of work, respectively defining two avenues to engage with the natural world.

Drink and Draw: [Insert theme/prompt here]
Thu, Jul 16, 1:00 AMJust some convivial folks hanging out at a neighborhood pub with their skechbooks. You don't have to be an "artist," or whatever that means, to be here. Bringing art supplies is a great idea though! Hydration is encouraged! The Flying Pig sells soft drinks and other n/a options as well as beer and cider. We come up with a theme or prompt for each week. You're free to use it or ignore it. It's about inspiring to stray from the norm. Speaking of which, this week's theme/prompt is [TBA]
Sketching at Me & Jungle (Cafe Art Circle - East Bay)
Sun, Jul 5, 8:00 PM📍 **Oakland Piedmont Ave. Meet in the back patio 1:00 pm. Look for us with sketchbooks.** 🎨 Bring your own art supplies. Roam freely. Sketch what you see. ☕ Pull up a chair anytime to draw with us and talk art. 📓 2:45pm. We wrap things up with show & tell throwdown. This is organized by the **[Cafe Art Circle](https://www.zenbay.org/cafe_art_circle)** meetup under SF Sketchers. We explore coffee and tea shops around the Bay Area, using sketching as a way to experience the atmosphere of each place and its neighborhood. Me & Jungle Cafe is a family-owned cafe on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland. It's a delight to folks who love of plants, tea, coffee, and healthy eating. I still remember my first visit and thinking it felt more like hanging out in a neighbor's backyard. A true neighborhood gem, their food is fresh, filling, and great for a summer afternoon. The event itself is free but please support the cafe by getting something. Come enjoy the greenery and warm atmosphere with us.
