People Sketch ~ TST - New Starbucks, 14-16 Hankow Rd

General idea //

This is a focused art activity which provides skilled artists and absolute beginners the opportunity to draw each other, face to face, sitting at tables in comfortable surroundings. Whatever your skill level, we hope that you draw to the best of your ability, are respectful to models and appreciate the efforts of other participants.
