The Sketchbook Challenge, which is one of the international sketching websites that we follow, has a theme that is really relevant for us this month: artist dates and sketching in public! The challenge they have chosen for this month is to set some time aside for yourself to sketch, preferably with friends. Perfect for Wellington Sketchers!
Tracy Bunker writes, "An artist
date is a block of time, perhaps two hours weekly, especially set
aside and committed to nurturing your creative consciousness, your
inner artist."
Well, Wellington Sketchers doesn't meet
quite that often, but we'll see if we can squeeze in a sketching
meetup or two in January, in honour of their sketching
challenge. Details here.
During January, the Sketchbook
Challenge website will be uploading posts about artist dates, and
advice on sketching in public. Here are a few they have posted
already about outdoor sketching: Drawing in Public: the Abstract Way
by Carol Sloan, and Working in Public by Tracy Bunkers.
