Oakland Capture the City: Urban Sketching Session

Tue, Oct 27, 2:00 AM
From Urban Sketching Skills And Practice Club

We are heading out to downtown Oakland for our next urban sketching session. This is an informal gathering for anyone who enjoys drawing on location, whether you have been doing it for years or are just starting to carry a sketchbook. The goal is simply to find a comfortable spot, spend some time observing the architecture and street life, and share what we have worked on at the end of the session. We will meet near the plaza to say hello before fanning out to find our own subjects. You are welcome to bring whatever supplies you are comfortable using, though I recommend keeping your kit light and portable. It does not matter if your sketches are polished or just quick scribbles; the focus here is just on getting out and putting pen to paper. If you think you can make it, please let us know by RSVPing so we have an idea of how many people to look out for.
