The Worldwide Sketchcrawl # 40 will be held on Saturday 13th July. What is a sketchcrawl? It is like a drawing/sketching/painting marathon, where you set aside a day (or some of it) and just move around your city or town, recording what goes on around you in your sketchbook, telling the visual story of your city on that day. The idea was started by Enrico Casarosa in San Francisco in 2006, who has turned it into a worldwide event run three or four times a year: a day which sketching groups and individual artists all over the world join in. Sketches from the event can be seen afterwards on www.sketchcrawl.com.
We will meet at the top of the cable car area, near Kelburn Lookout at 10am on Saturday 13th July 2013. We will move around the area sketching whatever takes your interest. There are many things to sketch: the cable car, Cable Car Museum, Kelburn Lookout with views over Wellington, Carter Observatory, and Botanic Gardens etc. You can sketch with the group, or go off on your own and just meet us for lunch: whatever you prefer. Sketch for as long as you feel like it on the day. Newcomers and new sketchers are very welcome!
This is a free event, and is not a course, or an instructional day. It is simply local sketchers meeting up socially to sketch our city as part of an international sketching day. You need to bring your own art materials. We plan to meetup at a nearby cafe and get a bite to eat & a coffee. Please be aware that riding on the Wellington Cable Car and entry to the Carter Observatory costs money.
Wet weather arrangements: The event will still go on in wet weather. There are places to sketch indoors and undercover, such as the Cable Car, the Cable Car Museum and the Carter Observatory.

ReplyDeleteI've been following the Urban Sketchers, for some time.
Only just found this Wellington group!
My brother lives in Khandallah and sometimes visit, so I'll keep an eye on future meet ups
Cheers

Hi Jimu. Thanks for stopping by our website. I can spend a long time on the Urban Sketchers website too. Definitely come along to a sketching meetup when you are in Wellington if you can! By the way, do you know of any urban sketching sketching groups like ours on the South Island? We sometimes get asked about it and at the moment I am not aware of any. Cheers

Will do Kerrie, when next in Wellington.
ReplyDeleteAt this stage don't know of any other South Island Urban Sketcher groups or Sketchers, but there must be some out in the wop wops!
Cheers
Jimu
Hope all goes well with your group. I'm in Sydney and we'll be at the North Sydney French/Bastille Day Markets. I'll look for your postings after Saturday.

Hey Kerrie, I can make this time! I'll be about an hour late though so I'll text you if I can't find you.
