Scenes from the latest of Bill Batson’s Flash Sketch Mobs, which took to the streets for the kickoff to the Hopper House’s “Nyack Week En Plein Air” series on Saturday, October 11. (All photos taken by Andrea Swenson. Keep scrolling for more photos and a full slideshow from the event.)
To launch the Hopper House’s Nyack WEEK En Plein Air, Bill Batson’s seemingly ubiquitous Flash Sketch Mob™ kicked things off with a day of creativity across the village.
Participants of all ages and skill levels set themselves up en plein air (the term for painting in the open air) and sought to reimagine Nyack through their own creative lens and hand.
Inspired by Edward Hopper, who responded artistically to his environment, you’ll sketch the village’s streetscapes, landmarks, and people while walking in his footsteps.
Of course, our decidedly-not-sketchy photographer Andrea Swenson was there to document all the flashy artistry on Saturday, October 11. It’s our latest Photo Shoot! (Scroll down for more photos and a full slideshow.)
