Urban Sketching is a free, social activity enjoyed by peole all around the world.
Huddersfield Urban Sketch Meets are hosted by artist Jo Blaker & has been a steadily growing group since 2021. 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...
Everyone brings their own drawing equipment . There are no rules about materials - use whatever you like! No materials provided.
We meet & draw at a range of locations together. 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.
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.
This is not a tutored event. You draw what you see, your way.
Then we head to a cafe to look at each others drawings & exchange supportive feedback.
No one will say what you've done is wrong. No one will say "you can't draw". No one will force you to share your work.
