Urban Sketching Club

Bring your pencils and sketchbooks outside, and come out to draw as part of Urban Sketching Club x Urban Sketchers Brighton! Draw is delighted to partner up with Urban Sketchers Brighton to explore and sketch in different locations in and around Brighton.

This is a relaxed, untutored session that is free to attend and everybody is welcome to come and draw with us, regardless of ability or past experience. This is a great opportunity to meet and draw with a group of likeminded artists while drawing urban environments and the people in them. You do not have to book for this session - it is totally fine to just turn up and join in! For first timers and those who’d like to say hi before getting stuck into sketching, there will be a short briefing at 10.30am at the meeting point. Alternatively you can get stuck into sketching wherever you like, and meet us at back at the meeting point at 12.30pm for the throwdown to share our sketches.
