Memphis Urban Sketchers.

http://urbansketchers-memphis.blogspot.com/

I've joined a group of urban sketchers:) Here's our blog. Can't wait until after our meet up on Saturday to post some drawings. I'm trying to take all of the tricks I've practiced in tiny paintings into larger scale work, so my sketches so far are pretty big. I love this idea and have already met some great people at events at the Farmer's Market and the Metal Museum. I'm really grateful that Elizabeth Alley set this up. I was trying to work through some compositional struggles through figure drawing that are much better suited to this sunshine-filled practice and I am glad to put drawing from the model aside for a while so I can play with perspective and space instead of mass and shadow.
