a week in Melbourne, Part 1

I spent the last week in Melbourne for work and to see friends. I took my sketchbook everywhere, and am putting on this blog the drawings completed'oön site", although I did a few from photographs later at home

ABOUT

Urban Sketchers is a network of artists around the world who draw the cities where they live and travel to. Our mission is to "Show the World, One Drawing at a Time." Visit our main blog at urban sketchers dot org for more information. Sketchers in Australia share their drawings on this blog.

By making a donation to our nonprofit you'll be helping urban sketchers continue to show the world, one drawing at a time.

Our 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.

The Urban Sketchers logo was created by Italian graphic designer Franco Lancio.
