Community Portrait Sketch at The Katonah Reading Room

Spend a creative morning sketching, connecting, and drawing from life at The Katonah Reading Room. This welcoming portrait drawing event is open to beginners, experienced artists, and anyone looking to enjoy a few hours of creative practice in a relaxed café setting.

Throughout the session, attendees will rotate as both artist and model during a series of short portrait poses, offering the chance to observe different faces, practice quick sketches, and engage with fellow creatives. Shop from a great selection of drawing supplies or bring your own, grab a drink, and enjoy an inspiring morning of art, conversation, and community in the heart of Katonah.

This informal sketch meetup focuses on observation, creativity, and connection rather than instruction, making it a great opportunity to build confidence, meet other artists, and enjoy the simple pleasure of drawing together.
