SANTA & URBAN SKETCHING

First of all I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas or whatever Merry time you wish. And a Happy and Healthy and Hopeful New Year.





A new venture for me and something others have taken up on their blogs that I know of.  It's a great idea and I am loving every moment.  I have become a member of an Urban Sketching Group - Liverpool Urban Sketchers.  We meet once a month and sketch around this lovely city.  Here's a small idea of what we have done.

You may have seen the ceramic poppy display at the Tower of London, well Liverpool has a much smaller one, called Weeping Window.  

This is of George's Hall and drawn from The Walker Art Gallery

These two sketches were done at the Christmas Market in Liverpool at night!!  Not that easy.  Great atmosphere though


Have fun and Take Care of Yourselves.

  1. We have a small urban sketchers group here in Sicily and I find it's a great way to to get out and sketch somewhere different. I look forward to seeing more sketches in 2016! I love your santa by the way.

  9. I'm a bit late getting to this but I had to say I love these sketches Polly. I've also developed an interest in urban sketching and Santa bought me a nice book on the subject. I haven't yet found the confidence to look for a local group but I do intend to go out and do some sketching on my own. Your post is very inspiring. ;-)
