Capturing the City Through Sketch
Urban sketching brings together artists who appreciate the architectural beauty of cityscapes. Our sessions focus on documenting buildings, streets, and urban environments through direct observation and artistic interpretation.
Each gathering provides an opportunity to explore different neighborhoods, discover hidden architectural details, and develop observational drawing skills in an outdoor setting.
What We Organize
