Figure Drawing San Francisco

SF Men's Naked Drawing Group Session Saturday 11/14/2026

Drink and Draw: [Insert theme/prompt here]

Just 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]

Albany Bulb NJ Club Fall Meetup @ Albany Bulb, Albany CA

**It's the Albany Bulb quarterly meetup!** Come nature journal at the urban wilds of Albany Bulb. This bayside park has a wide variety of flora and fauna...native plants, birds in the estuary, trees, a small beach, views of the bay over to SF and Marin. Bring your own journaling supplies and spend the afternoon discovering the fascinating ecology of the Bulb while expanding, practicing, and sharing your nature journal skills. It's late Autumn, and the year is turning towards cozy season! Some plants are winding down while many native plants are waiting to kick up the bloom later in the season. The acacia buds are emerging and shorebirds are worth the trip. * Learn more about the Albany Bulb here: [www.albanybulb.org](https://www.albanybulb.org) * Free; Suggested $5-20 donation for the [Love the Bulb](https://www.albanybulb.org/) Meetup host: Kate Rutter **Weather note:** Rain is forecast for the weekend, but it looks to be light. **\*\* If it's raining heavily, we will cancel, so check your email before heading out.

Holiday Party at Arch, with sketching at BluDot

It's that time of year, and Arch Art Supplies is putting on a holiday party for us again. There will be drinks and snacks, and a 10% discount so we can stock up on supplies for another year of sketching. But we have to get some sketching in first, so we'll start out at the Blu Dot store a couple of blocks away and walk back to Arch. **12:30** The Blu Dot furniture store has great light and lots of room for us to spread out and sketch their elegant mid-century modern furniture. If it's not raining, you can also go outside to sketch the streets of Potrero Hill. **2:00-ish** When you're done sketching, head over to Arch, 2 blocks west, **1490 17th Street** (@Arkansas) to hang out with other sketchers over drinks, snacks and shopping. Around **2:30** we'll make a toast to another year of sketching together and do the **Secret Santa Art Exchange**. *If you want to participate in the Secret Santa Art Exchange, bring a wrapped sketch, framed or unframed, and you'll get a numbered ticket. At 2:30 the exchange will begin: when your number is called it's your turn to pick a package from the pile. Don't put your name on the package—it's a secret who the artist is!* GETTING THERE **Transit**: From 16th Street BART it's a 10 minute ride east on the 22 or 55 buses. You can also catch the 22 going west from the the T-Third MUNI line near the Chase Center. **Bike**: There's a good bicycle lane along 17th Street. **Car**: You will probably be able to park within a couple of blocks. BRING • Warm clothing • Your credit card, in case you want to take advantage of the 10% discount to buy art supplies, or buy flowers to bring home from the Flower Market. • A wrapped sketch of yours if you want to participate in the *Secret Santa Art Exchange.* \- Sketch by Laurie W
