This weekend, I met up with my local Urban Sketchers SF Bay Area group to participate in the Urban Sketchers Global 24 Hour Sketchwalk to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Urban Sketchers group.

We met up in the park near the Apple store in Union Square and sketched for about 90 minutes before meeting inside. It was chilly, so we needed to get inside to thaw out our hands. Here is my sketch from the park looking towards the Ruth Asawa fountain. You can see our leader, Laurie Wigham sketching in front of me. 

There were about 40 of us sketchers there that day. 

Here are a few of my favorite sketches from that day.

After the sketch walk, I joined a few sketchers for lunch in Chinatown at the Far East Cafe. I loved discussing art techniques, supplies, and urban sketching with some like minded individuals! Here's my quick sketch - largely done before our food arrived.

Every time I meet up with other urban sketchers, I get inspired to do more on location sketching. I am going to make more of an effort to get out there and sketch!

Did you participate in the 24 Hour Global Sketch Walk? I would love to hear about your experience and see your sketches!!
