Bristol Urban Sketchers

Just a quick update, at the weekend the Bristol Urban sketchers had another virtual meet up (they had a couple of physical max 6 per group, socially distanced ones too but I havent been able to attend yet).

The virtual ones over the past 13 months or so have been brilliant, we chat on video, sketch, chat more then show and tell.  It has meant we have been able to visit some amazing places from singapore to wales!  This week it was Amsterdam, I havent been there for a few years so it was lovely exploring it on street view and having a good nose around!

 The fact that every building had 3 sets of windows in EVERY building, I am not going to lie started to do my head in after an hour but I stuck with it.  I havent painted reflections before so that was a new thing and something I am going to practise and look up some hints and tips on.

The skillset of the Bristol group is amazing and I learn so much from them and they are always polite and encouraging, which is lovely, fingers crossed I can do an actual meet up soon.

WOYWW

 Happy hump day so that means sharing our desks with the lovely Julia queen of desks for What's on your workdesk Wednesday. 

To be honest this was taken last night as i had a day off work so could spend some decent time in the room actually crafting and making some cards  

 

My 'man bites dog' cards makes you wonder what else the 'orange one' has been up to?! 

I thought I would post a photo from the weekend too. For the past year the Bristol Urban sketchers group that i have been a member of for a few years have been doing virtual zoom meetups where we have a pre arranged location and you can sketch and chat on video for a couple of hours. It's lovely seeing places from all over the world (this one was Norwich but the next is Singapore), sketching and just the general 'chat', boy i have missed general chatting! 

So, what's on your workdesk this Wednesday? 

Happy crafting

Bristol Urban Sketchers meet up

 Hello peeps, well today was our first actual meet up since lockdown of Bristol Urban Sketchers. It was so well organised, 6 people in a group, pre booked, outside and socially distanced. Our group met outside St Georges Hall in town near Brandon Hill. 

I forgot my mixer pallet but no worries as i bought a cheeky tesco meal deal of a wrap and also sushi and upcycled the sushi lid as a palette and the soy sauce fish as a water carrier! Worked so well i intend on using them again!

I sketched outside st georges hall sat on the steps then up in Brandon park before we all met for a quick catch up. 

Was great meeting up and there was also another group of 6 the other side of the hall  (which we didn't meet up with to ensure we kept to the rules) and a zoom meet up for those unable to make it, which has been a lifeline and means those shielding or not able to get there can still take part.

So well organised and helped me feel safe which i really appreciated. 

Thanks chaps it was fabulous
