About us
This group is for anyone who loves to sketch, whether you are a professional artist looking to loosen up or someone who just enjoys keeping a sketchbook on the coffee table. The goal here is simple: to get out of the house, find a quiet corner, and spend some time drawing alongside others who appreciate the process. There is no formal instruction and no pressure to produce a masterpiece; we just want to create a space where we can focus on our work in good company.
We meet at various local cafes and parks to keep things interesting and accessible. Each session is low-key, usually involving an hour or two of focused sketching followed by a chance to chat, share our progress, or simply talk about what we are working on. If you are looking for a relaxed, consistent way to build a habit and meet fellow artists in the area, feel free to join us for our next session. Bring whatever materials you are comfortable using, and we look forward to seeing your work.

You'll be drawing in First Lines: the basics of holding the pencil, seeing in shapes and shading so things look solid.
