Event description

Come along for two hours of urban sketching in Nottingham city centre! We'll meet by Leo (The Left Lion) at 5pm and head out 5 minutes later—so please be prompt!

No materials are supplied so bring along something to draw with and something to draw on.

It doesn't matter what your drawing level is—the idea is to enjoy the experience of trying something new or developing your existing skills. You may well look at the city in a way that you've never experienced it before!

There is a plan if the weather isn't great some meet under the arches buy the lion and we'll take it from there. Optionally we can go and grab some refreshments afterwards where we can discuss what we've done and (equally optionally) show & tell—but there is absolutely no expectation of this at all.

Who can join

Anyone of any skill level is welcome from absolute beginners to seasoned professionals.
