The long awaited meeting of Urban Sketchers happened today in Newcastle and was a great success.
About 15 dedicated sketchers made the three hour train journey from Sydney, some of them getting up pre dawn to catch the train. About half a dozen locals showed up with the promise of more to come, so fingers crossed that we will have enough people to get some momentum. In any case, happen what may, I met some lovely people today. Sketchers are such nice people! Newcastle turned on a brilliant day, 30 degrees C, light breezes and clear skies. Serendipity!

Now to collapse!

I love the warm colours in the morning sketch and the cool colours in the afternoon. En plain air suits you.
ReplyDeleteI agree! They look breezy and light, just as you said. I hope you kept your clothes on, as planned.
