Sam and Nishant Draw Brooklyn

​Join Samantha Dion Baker and Nishant Jain in Brooklyn NY, for a special in-person workshop about being observant and mindful in public spaces. Using two very different approaches, we will learn to create a sketchbook-journal that illustrates the sights of the big city, captures the whimsy and dynamics of human activity, and records our thoughts and observations.

​We will meet at the benches at the end of Main Street in DUMBO, Brooklyn, at the entrance to Brooklyn Bridge Park. (Please wait for further confirmation on the exact spot.)

​All materials provided. Each guest will receive a Handbook linen watercolor sketchbook, permanent pens, and a pencil. Feel free to bring what you love to sketch with as well (paints will not be provided.)

​Since this is an outdoor event, please bring a water bottle and any snacks you might want. You can also bring a blanket or a small plain-air folding chair if you have one. There will be park benches and tables we will gather at to do some demos and our q & a's. Note that there are plenty of cafes for you to pop into if you need a drink, and places to rest and settle down to draw. This event will very much be conducted like an urban sketching workshop. At the end, attendees who choose to, will lay their work out so we can see what was created.
