Join Reading's local urban sketching chapter (Urban Sketchers Reading/aka RdgSketchers) as they draw live on location.Join Reading's local urban sketching chapter (Urban Sketchers Reading/aka RdgSketchers) as we draw live on location and share our drawings of the Open For Art Festival together. It's informal, friendly and a chance to draw in public, safe in the knowledge that there's another sketcher nearby whilst we draw the same location at the same time . We end each session with a throwdown where everyone displays what they drew and share tips.
What is urbansketching? It's a global community of sketchers who enjoys drawing live on location and 'seeing the world, one sketch at a time'. We aim to capture a sense of the location and time. We run a local chapter here in Reading. We meet at least once a month and it's a wonderful way to enjoy and look at our surroundings and meet other urban sketchers.
We welcome all - whether you are wanting to try out urbansketching for the first time or are a regular urbansketcher.
Bring something to draw on and something to sketch/paint with. Our advice is to bring art materials that are easy to use on the go. We welcome all - whether you are wanting to try out urbansketching for the first time or are a regular urbansketcher.

This workshop is aimed at adults but children 8 years+ are welcome to join with a participating adult. The sessions are informal, friendly and a chance to draw in public, safe in the knowledge that there's another sketcher nearby whilst we draw the same location at the same time . There won't be any formal teaching but often other urban sketchers do share tips with each other.
This is a drop in workshop - a ticket does not guarantee a space at the craft table and there maybe a short wait whilst . Please select your time slot and turn up anytime between your allotted time allocation.
