31 Day Drawing Challenge JUL 2015 - Make an Urban Sketch!

You can find us doing a bit of Urban Sketching down on Sea Road, Galway today with Urban Sketchers Galway for Drawing Galway 10. That's to be found here:



- basically if you can see the Crane Bar, you should be able to find us.

There were quite a few brave souls out, even with the weather a bit changeable, but I didn't photograph everyone's pieces. I'll update here with more bits as people send them to me!

Here's the bits and pieces from our Crane Bar sketches:

Josephine Boland -



Donal Fallon -



Jay Penn -



Michelle Gunning -



And one of the "local characters" insisted on giving me his rendition of the Crane Bar in my sketchbook. He signed it in the bottom right, so if you can make out his name I'll tag it as well.



And here's Urban Sketching from other locations:

Gordon MacKay -



Barbara Vulso -



James Newell - was there virtually
