Pick Up That Pencil
Once they’re old enough, sketches
become part of history.

You love to draw. Your fingers
get itchy when you’re not drawing. When you don’t have any paper handy, you
draw on a napkin.
You’re not alone. Thousands of
people around the world feel the same way. Urban sketchers are adventurers,
naturalists, foodies, architects and museum goers. They love to draw the world
around them.
Urban Sketchers draw quickly.
They use special techniques to create fresh,
spontaneous cityscapes. They have miniature art tool kits tucked into
their messenger bags and purses.
Sometimes sketchers specialize
in neighborhoods, or people scenes, or meals. They draw whatever is interesting
to them at that moment.
On Thursday, December 15, Sara
Light-Waller and Jane Wingfield, both experienced urban sketchers, will give a
short presentation about how to be an urban sketcher. During the talk you’ll
see some of their sketchbooks and tool kits as examples.
Afterwards, people are welcome
to join for a short sketch happening. Bring sketch pads and pencils and
whatever other tools you like to use. We’ll all be urban sketchers that
evening.
This FREE event is at the
Rectangle Gallery, 209 N Tower Ave, Centralia, on Thursday, December 15 from
6:00 – 8:00 p.m. The talk starts at 6:15. Please join us.
RSVP’s are not
necessary but if you have questions please email Sara, sketch event
coordinator, at sara@saralightwaller.com. |
