USk London with Derwent

I had the pleasure recently of being invited to the 10 year Urban Sketchers London event along with Derwent to demo some of their paint sets and papers. What an amazing couple of days!

This was all preceeded by hearing the amazing news that one of my sketches had been successfully chosen to be in the published 10 year anniversary book! So pleased to be amongst some super talented artists.

I joined the anniversary sketching weekend by initially joining 40+ sketchers at Gabriels Wharf on Londons south bank. What a pleasure to meet some of the team running the sketch meet and tackle the London skyline with pen and paint. Urban sketching on mass is such a different (better) experience  - quite a contrast to the solo sketching life most tend to lead, which can be lonely and sometimes enveloped in exaggerated self awareness.
