July Urban Sketching Challenge - Words into sketch - 25 July 2020

[Isabel Carmona writes] Given the restriction on outdoor gatherings are still restricted to six people of different households and with social distancing in any case, we propose an urban sketching challenge for you to do at home on the day our July London meet would have been on Saturday July 25, 2020.

Words into UrbanSketch
The proposal is to look around us and take inspiration from Words into an urbansketch (done on location and from observation telling a story of your own surroundings). Look at actions of your normal day that you do often and also your normal phrases and sayings and think how to draw them?  Focus on context, don't prepare too much just draw things as they are. Look for phrases that inspire you to focus your sketches.
Below are a few actions/time of day selected phrases or sayings that could inspire you to draw.  Don’t restrict yourselves to these but think of your own individual sayings or phrases too.
Gardening:

• All things grow with love
• As fast as a cat up a tree
• Bare as a tree without fruit
• Colourful as a flower shop
• Every path has its puddle
• Home grown

Early morning:

• Wash and go
• Wake up and smell the coffee 

Cooking 

• Everything but the kitchen sink 
• You can't make an omelette without breaking the eggs

The Challengue - make it quick and spontaneous, it can be done along the day or just the morning or whatever suits you: 

1. Choose a phrase above or your own phrase,
2. Do one of these:
• One pen drawing (max 30 min)
• One pen & colour (max 30 min)
• One colour only (max 30 min)
3. Then repeat with another phrase but not the same medium 
4. Finally choose a third phrase and the remaining medium 
5. Photograph and share your drawings and inspiration on social media
