The Urban Sketchers Sydney events just seem to get better and better. Despite Saturday's 'rain- heavy at times' forecast we had a fantastic turn up of 34 people to the Sydney Hospital courtyard.It is always great when we are all sitting together in the one area, so this courtyard was ideal. And a nice roomy cafe was a good base!

Once again the work done by the group was amazing- so much variety even though we were all sketching the same thing.

It was very special to have Cecily and Khim from the Penang USK group join us for the day. I love the way Urban Sketchers makes meetings like this possible!
A collection of some of the sketches will follow later in the week
