Urban sketching outings are...

  • a great way to meet fellow artists!
  • a fantastic way to get to know your area better!
  • a time and place to regularly exercise and grow your sketching skills.

Urban sketcher groups around the world are known for meeting and drawing
with anyone who wants to come out and sketch.
All skill levels are welcome. No special materials are required. Just
bring materials you enjoy.  Many of us bring a small folding stool as
part of our self-created sketching kits.

Sketching is a communication skill: urban sketchers tell the stories of
their cities one sketch at a time. We post our sketches on the urban
sketching Flickr and/or Facebook group sites, so we may share our
sketches with others around the world.

Urban Sketchers-Tacoma meets the first Saturday each month: we had a
great outing on April 5th. at Engine House #9! *
