This month's SketchCrawl snuck up on me! The plan? This Saturday, October 26th at Pacific Fair. We'll meet up at 1pm and wander Pacific Fair until we find something interesting to draw (architecture? people? who knows!). And we might sit down somewhere to sketch a mug of hot chocolate (or tea or cof...

For the 64th SketchCrawl, we will be taking an excursion up to Mt. Tamborine. The general plan: short easy morning rainforest/waterfall hike for some nature sketching followed by a leisurely lunch for some food sketching and then some wandering around the gallery walk area for people/building/etc. s...

Four fearless sketchers met up in front of Betty's Burgers at Robina Town Centre. Betty's Burger's is a 1950s-style restaurant in a modern, upmarket food court. https://scontent.fbne4-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27067088_1826632700680806_6061034175250709921_n.jpg?oh=cc15da6c5ce1975bf1743964a6794c8b&...

Bring something portable to draw with and paper / your sketchbook. If the weather is nice and people feel like walking we may venture elsewhere on foot...otherwise, ...

Location: Broadwater! Meet up near the koala at 4pm and bring something to draw with, something to draw on, and whatever you need to keep yourself comfortable (jacket, water bottle, etc.). It's timed for sunset (which google tells me will be at 5:16pm), but feel free to arrive earlier to get some ex...

6pm at The Night Quarter in Helensvale. The Night Quarter is open 4-10pm so feel free to come early / stay a bit later. Or feel free to start your marathon when you first wake up and sketch all day no matter where you happen to be or go. You can still participate in the international excitement of t...

We truly did have an epic SketchCrawl this time around. Five intrepid explorers met up at the coffee shop and then headed out--not to the tram stop but to the beach! https://scontent-syd1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13876264_1257427377601344_4872391210069829625_n.jpg?oh=e245406bd00029e2138027bb912f2383&...

We had a great day out with seven participants, our largest group so far! https://scontent-syd1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xla1/v/t1.0-9/13102797_1192847674059315_2182712109009014085_n.jpg?oh=4a6979f26c62f0a2b64faa466f1350f1&oe=57BB1038 We met up at the cafe at the Gold Coast Arts Centre and then lo...

We'll be sketching in the Cultural Precinct in Evandale (where the Arts Centre is!) from 1:30pm onward. There's quite a variety of things to sketch: park landscaping, water views, a sculpture trail, buildings, people... There's a gallery and a cafe there as well and we may tack a visit to one or the...

The sunny Gold Coast didn't look very sunny when the five of us started, but luckily as soon as our watercolor brushes and drawing pencils appeared the raindrops melted away. We met up at the Botanic Gardens at 3pm...had the intention of a stop time of 5pm and ended up finishing our picnic of tea, c...

Sounds like an excellent -- and fun plan! Sometimes rather than trying to appeal to the masses who may or may not participate it is much smarter (and more pleasant) to just do what sounds like the most fun for the people you know will participate--like yourself! :-) How did it go? Did you get a lot ...

Meeting up on Currumbin Beach near Elephant Rock at 2 pm. ---- Three artistic souls met up at Currumbin Beach at 2 pm and commenced drawing. At Currumbin Beach there is a giant rock, although "rock" doesn't do it quite justice. Even "boulder" isn't quite big enough. It towers ove...

Despite the massive storm that hit shortly after we started, our group of four had a good time. First we hunkered down and drew through the rain-covered windows of the library lobby...there were some people out on the streets but the rain at one point was coming in sideways in huge gusts and multipl...

Destination: Southport . City developers have lots planned for Southport, so for those of you with a historic bent, this is an interesting moment to capture Southport "as it is now." We'll meet up at 3:30 in the lobby area of the Southport Branch Library --there are some benches, a cafe, a...

It was a blustery, brisk day by the sea and fun to draw the many people enjoying the breeze and sunshine. Lots of little sketches of trees, kite-surfing, and people...ironically no buildings. Check out this Facebook album to see some of the sketches if they don't show up below. Or to see the rest of...
