The Sketchcrawl Forum for the 16th Sketchcrawl provides all the details as to where and when. I think I detect standards being raised in relation to organisation with a few locations offering including really good details of venues and really excellent maps.
Now knowing that this blog gets a fairly international readership I'm going to post the current venues and hope this may stimulate more people into participating! At the time of writing it looks like there will be sketchcrawls in the following places around the globe.

You can see work posted (or links to work) in the 'results' posts in the previous sketchcrawl forums. Please admire Enrico's absolutely wonderful watercolour which he completed on the 15th Sketchcrawl in August.
I'm looking forward to seeing the sketches on blogs next week. Leave a comment if you think you'll be participating tomorrow.

I plan on doing something even if it is around my house. My surgery was put off for a week (next Tues) so I am not getting out much. Have a great day sketching Katherine.
ReplyDeleteKatherine, Sacramento was left off your California sketchcrawl list... we had about 11 people, most of them either teachers or students of animation, definitely a different crowd than I'm used to being around! We had a fantastic day. I hope some of the students post their work on the forum soon because it was outstanding, some of it. I think we managed to convert some ordinary zoo-goers, as well...
ReplyDeleteAli - Sorry for leaving Sacromento off the list. I had it in at one point and then had a glitch with my connection and I guess it may have got lost.
ReplyDeleteI've now been over to the Sketchcrawl forum - what a nice looking bunch of people you all are. 11 is a nice size for a group. Big enough and not too big.
For those who have not seen the results but like sketching, I suggest you get on over to the Sketchcrawl forum and read any of the threads with 'results' in the title. There's a few coming that were not art of the original listing.
Mine is there - and is also posted along with an incredibly tedious story about a puncture on my travel sketchbook blog.
