There were around 70-80 sketchers at the
event in Fed Square. Lots of the public came to have a sneaky peak over
shoulders and see what we were doing and some were even adventurous enough to
join in. We enjoyed sitting out on deck chairs
and sprawled across the stage with sketchbooks and clipboards (for the public)
in hand. It was a good vantage point with lots to draw (including Flinders St
Station, St Paul's, Fed Square and of course other sketchers etc).
It was a little overwhelming but exciting seeing some of our previous urban sketches showing on the big screen, and they captured some footage of the event for a TV spot (which I never saw as we were still out sketching that night). All in all it was a great day to meet fellow sketchers and introduce the public to the wonderful world of urban sketching.
