What’s not to love

I’m so glad I had 13 other “Back alley Sallys” to enjoy a Calgary perfect early fall day. This type of venue is a good reminder not to disregard the backside of urban. Some of the most interesting and engaging drawings happen behind the scenes. I might have to return, there was some awesome “ghost signs” on the adjacent buildings.

Urban Sketchers Mission

We are an all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to fostering a global community of artists who practice on-location drawing.

Our mission is to raise the artistic, storytelling and educational value of on-location drawing, promoting its practice and connecting people around the world who draw on location where they live and travel.

Urban Sketcher Manifesto

As part of the global Urban Sketchers community, we adhere to their Manifesto:

  1. We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.
  2. Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.
  3. Our drawings are a record of time and place.
  4. We are truthful to the scenes we witness.
  5. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.
  6. We support each other and draw together.
  7. We share our drawings online.
  8. We show the world, one drawing at a time.
