Welcome, start here!
Again glad you are here and here are some housekeeping items… #1 - To kick things off, please, create a post to introduce yourself and please share an image of your work. #2 - One of things you will want to get a hang of is using the Search Bar at the top of the application window. As this private club grows and to save your time from scrolling through the entire discussion feeds, use the search bar to data mine for Keywords, so that those discussions threads will pop up in the search results window. #3 - I have some general house rules that I hope everyone can follow to ensure we make this a safe place for sharing, collaboration, and positivity: 1. Respect: All members must treat each other with respect. No personal attacks, no hate speech, no trolling, no bullying. 2. Professionalism: As this is a community for professionals, members should maintain a level of professionalism. 3. Confidentiality: What is shared in the group should stay in the group, unless explicit permission is given to share the information outside. 4. Stay on Topic: Posts and comments should be relevant to the discussion threads. Off-topic posts may be removed. If I need to create another discussion categories I will but remember this private club isn't all about those clicks-n-picks, we are focusing on the other things that doesn't get taught or discussed in this manner. 5. No Spam: While it's fine to share your work or your business, spam is not allowed. 6. Help Each Other: The purpose of the community is to support each other's growth and development in Urban Sketching, and drawing. Members are encouraged to help each other out by sharing insights, experiences, and constructive feedback. 7. Quality Over Quantity: Encourage meaningful and thoughtful conversation over frequent, less substantial posts. 8. Ask for Help: If members are unsure whether something is appropriate to post, they should feel free to reach out to the admin or moderator for guidance. 9. Reporting Violations: If members see someone else breaking the rules, they should not engage but rather report the violation to the admin or moderator. 10. Disclaimer: The views expressed within the community are those of the individual members and do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of the community as a whole. We get it, but be mindful when sharing and receiving information.

I’m so fascinated by the different kinds of windows there are and I love to sketch them. This is one example.

October 2026 sketches
I'm out with the urban sketching group today. We at the local museum because the weather has been poor. Here is my sketch. The main thing to focus on are the big issues. there is a lot going on in this scene and it is easy to get lost in the details. I'm finding it really difficult to hold on to my book with my sore arm, I recently fell off my motorbike, so my wrist is in a cast.

Introduction - Really just starting on my sketching en Pleine aire
I love travel, and nature, and really like the attention and detail you see when you sketch. I’ve loved looking at examples of amazing travel journals over the last few years, though you can easily get discouraged when yours doesn’t turn out quite as beautiful. It took a while for me to let that go. I think that the advice that helped the most was in a nature journaling class, where the teacher pushed us to go straight to pen, rather than dithering for hours with pencil and eraser trying to get everything perfect. What I want is to be able to let that go, and work much faster and looser and capture the feeling of a place. The sunflower was the piece that I did during the nature journaling class. Anyway, these are some sketches I did in Puerto Rico and one from the northern CA coast. The coastal one was painted from a photo as my family would never sit for hours and wait for me to watercolor a scene. That one was before I learned to just use a pen and commit.

My trip to the East coast
I’ve just found this group and have joined. I’m fairly new to urban sketching but not to drawing or sketching.
