It’s been several months since I went out with the Urban Sketchers Canberra group. The weather, being as cold as it is, didn’t seem to promise a large turnout, but I was wrong about that.

I decided to do a composite sketch, showing various aspects of the Gallery,  starting with part of the building exterior.

I then moved inside, collected a stool, and found a spot where I could see a cluster of other sketchers. I also decided to incorporate some quick sketches of two of the portraits into the background of my double page spread.

Because I couldn’t use my watercolours in the gallery, I moved to the ‘family’ room where messy art could happen.

I planned to add some elements from the cafe in the bottom right corner, but I ran out of time. Maybe I can do that another time.
