An individual or small-group event with images posted online
June is a month of uncertainty for the organisation of groups, so we
are planning cautiously. We are encouraging small scale self-organised meetings
for another month despite the likely relaxation of COVID rules. Although we are
so keen to be part of a larger sketchcrawl, we are holding off while we take in
guidance about new variants.
11am - 3.30pm
Our theme for June is water. Interpret
this as you will. Sit by a river and sketch the water, the boats, the bridge,
the people walking by the river. Find a pond or a patch of water. Or feature
something with a connection to water. Did you know that you can enter keywords
in the
Urban Sketchers London Facebook page
and see how others have drawn water, rivers, fountains? This is how I found the
images below. Try out different media and mark making and explain your location
and process when you post the results.
As the weather improves we
hope we don’t have an immersive experience in the rain.

If you need to sketch from home, consider vases of flowers, glasses of water, yourself in the bath (keep it clean).

There will be a virtual ‘throwdown’ on the Urban Sketchers London Facebook page
at 3.30pm on Saturday 26th June, but please share your sketches at other times
during the month, if that is more convenient for you.
