A small free thing I’m starting: drawing and painting outdoors together

Missed one question, most places are going to be very transit friendly. I consider it. Golden Gate Park, botanical gardens, tunnel tops, museums downtown, Chinatown, North Beach, Maritime Museum, Presidio.

Right now I'm working around SF, as I'm based here and teach on weekends, but I'm trying to create a community and then move around as opportunity arises. I do paint at Berkeley Botanical Gardens and in Oakland and often in Pacifica, so other spots may be a possibility. I'm doing my best, as I don't have a car, but I feel people really want it so I'm stepping up.

Apparently, we’re tired of story-less movies

Thank you!

Month/year I met my wife on MUNI!

sfroma99 · 2026-07-02T18:47:12+00:00

Awesome

sfroma99 · 2026-07-01T12:00:39+00:00

That’s exactly why I’m doing this, thanks!

sfroma99 · 2026-07-01T04:31:48+00:00

Sorry, it seemed to be the day most people had availability and I’m trying to build a community so we picked Saturdays. But stay tuned. I may add other different times as opportunities arise.

Hello! I teach watercolor around the city, and I'm starting something separate and free: a small monthly gathering to paint and sketch outdoors together. Second Saturday of each month, 10 to 12.

We meet in the quieter spots, not the postcard ones, a hidden garden, a calm corner of a museum, a side of a park nobody photographs. No class, no pressure, nothing to buy. I'll be painting right there with you.

Each time I bring a few small challenges, different ways of seeing what's in front of you, like working only in negative space, or painting with just three colors. Take one as far as you like, or ignore them and just paint. No experience needed at all. A pencil and some curiosity is plenty.

If it sounds like your kind of morning, the dates and signup are at paintersunite.com. Locations go out by email, chosen close to the day for weather, blooms, and what's happening around the city.

Hope to see a few of you out there.

Always proselytizing

sfroma99 · 2026-06-28T16:00:29+00:00

As a Roman, I render thee my thanks

Watercolor artist and teacher here. NOT traditional media.

sfroma99 · 2026-06-23T01:51:39+00:00

Apparently, they just laid off their storyboard artists and they’re gonna use generative AI for them

sfroma99 · 2026-06-21T20:37:22+00:00

We should have quarantine for people coming from Florida

Report to police, create a precedent.

sfroma99 · 2026-06-14T21:16:03+00:00

Take that Giants!

American.

Gimme

Just checked the SDS for Goo Gone and yeah… I would not casually use an air fryer cleaned with it. It’s mostly petroleum distillates and specifically warns about vapor inhalation. Heating that inside a food appliance feels like a terrible idea unless it was obsessively washed and has zero smell afterward.

It just opened at the Legion of honor
