Huddersfield Urban Sketch Meet - January

Urban Sketching is a free, social activity enjoyed by peole all around the world - https://urbansketchers.org

Huddersfield Urban Sketch Meets are hosted by artist Jo Blaker. Started in 2021 each month between 15 & 30 sketchers meet to draw from observation together. We're a friendly bunch & always welcome new folks. This is not a tutored event. You draw what you see, your way. Everyone is welcome. Every drawing is celebrated.

Here's how it works...

Materials

Everyone brings their own drawing equipment . There are no rules about materials - use whatever you like! No materials provided.

Locations

We tend to start with a few short warm up sketches, at a number of locations, before stopping in one place for a longer period & more independent drawing.

Themes

Each meet there is a different optional theme - sometimes folks give these a go during our warm up sketches then do their own thing for the longer drawing/s towards the end. The themes help us select subject matter & explore ways of approaching drawing it. They are entirely optional.

Style

Variety is the spice of life & we welcome all styles of drawing

Sharing

We sketch unti 1pm when we find somewhere to share our drawings & have a brew. This is a great opportunity to learn from others, to pick up tips & get inspired. We also encourage attendees to share photos of their sketches on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/huddsurbansketchmeet

What if it chucks it down?

We've got our eye on a few covered but outdoor locations around the town centre that we will use incase of rain
