I have been teaching small watercolor Classes at a Coffee House in Altadena (close to Pasadena)  in Los Angeles County for many years, and hope to find more people interested in exploring this demanding but exciting medium. The classes are limited to no more than 6 students per class so I can give a more individual experience than typically larger classes. It is very hard to learn the nuances of watercolor without having someone who can see what you are doing and point out how changing your proc …

I don't sketch and draw nearly as much as I want, maybe there are a few people who feel the same and also have a nagging desire to crawl out of their dungeon. Maybe the group will flounder and collapse in days! Who knows. My plan is to meetup in unorthodox public places, interesting places, scary places? All with the goal of sitting down and sketching for a bit. Drawing buildings, drawing people, drawing signs, drawing dogs, drawing each other, drawing wheels, eating and drawing, drinking and dr …

I'm starting this group to explore if there is interest in a Communal Art Studio in Pasadena where members can rent studio space on a daily, weekly or monthly basis and be part of a community of local artists.

Rates would run from about $25 a day to $250 a month for common room space and about $500 a month for a private studio with access to the rest of the space. For similar models, please sea …

Welcome THE FUN HAS JUST BEGUN You want to know why I decided to start this group because I was finding groups that would start off great, but then fizzle out. The reason I noticed, was that almost all the groups are way too specialized.  I wanted a young adult group where people meetup, make friends or more, exchange ideas and we do it.  So the point is do something either fun, exciting, wild, new, whatever. We aim to be active, outdoorsy, adventurous, and social. Whether it is , hiking excursi …

Hey buddies, the purpose of this Meetup group is for guys who are married or have been a relationship for a while to have an awesome social circle where everybody in here can simply just “be a man” and do the things we like to do. Hanging out with our buddies and be ourselves. Don’t’ you miss those days? Remember? We used to make some real serious damage. Now, let’s go back in time, have some fun, and run away from the adulthood a little bit. What do you say? Imaging 20 and plus good friends do …
