It’s almost spring, the weather is turning. Slowly, slowly there’s more light each day. This time of year I’m starting to anticipate our annual sketching challenge #OneWeek100People.
When March rolls around in Montreal, the street-sketching season is still on the edge. Some years it’s honestly still too cold – but I always have the museums and the subway for sketching days. I have a touch of seasonal-affective disorder. It runs in my family. I’m not as bad as some people, but it’s enough that I’m really counting the days till you can go out without boots and a coat, and get a whole day of sunlight. It’s a whole new lease on life for people who live up north!
I hope wherever you are, maybe you’ll catch the spring-sketching bug, and head out to do some street-sketching with us.
Of course, this isn’t an official UrbanSketchers.org event, so we have more generous rules. Sketching from video, photos, or posed life drawing is ok with us.
I hope you’ll find some friends near you and join us for the eighth year of #OneWeek100People. Let us know if you plan to participate, especially if you’re looking for sketching-buddies near you, and please feel free to send me sketches during the event – either here on the blog, or join our Facebook Group.
See you soon!
