Thanks to Admin Yvonne Rezek for her November sketching theme.
October was our last sketch-together event until the weather warms. Admins decided not to schedule indoor venues for the winter months, as we’ve done in the past, for community health reasons. However, there is a plan! A theme will be posted based on a specific venue or on some related variation on the first weekend of each month. Sketchers will have two weeks to sketch the theme as many times, in as many ways, (and in different locations, too) as you want. Sketchers can post anytime but the deadline for inclusion in the monthly blog post is the third Sunday of the month.
The theme for November is libraries! The Edmonton Public Library has 21 locations throughout the city. Your sketchy mission this month, should you choose to accept it, is to sketch one or more of the EPL branches, indoors OR outdoors, or indoors AND outdoors! Why stop at one sketch? Bonus points for including people in your sketches. Post your sketch(es) by Sunday, November 21 for inclusion in the USkE blog post. One theme. Many possibilities. So excited to see what we all come up with!
NOTE: Of course, sketches of libraries in surrounding communities or farther afield are also welcome!
Keep on making other sketches of urban scenes too. We post reminders from time to time about what constitutes an urban sketch, so here is another reminder. One of the hints is right in the title of the group: “Urban” Sketchers, so be sure to make your sketches about life in cities and towns. On the Urban Sketchers webpage is the mission statement, and on that page is the quote “for all sketchers out there who love to draw the cities where they live and visit, from the window of their homes, from a cafe, at a park, standing by a street corner… always on location, not from photos or memory.”
Have fun with the library theme for November!
