Sharing the Art of Urban Sketching at the BGC Art Mart

Severe weather on the weekend of our September Sketchwalk prompted the organizers of the BGC ART Mart at the Bonifacio High Street to postpone the event. The original schedule of September 20 was changed to September 27. We were glad for the bright sun when the sketchwalk day finally came.

On that Saturday, we not only sketched, but shared our passion for on-location sketching as well. Sketching on location isn't just doodling, but putting to paper what we see around us. Instead of a camera, we use pen and paper to record our observations. Along with our sketchbooks, we also brought books about sketching on location so that people can see what urban sketching is all about. We also brought paper and various art materials, encouraging people to sketch with us. Some of our members also came to sell art prints of their sketches.
