A
group blog with hundreds of international sketch artists who share the
world through their notebooks. They explore cities and sketch them in
every detail, capturing the essence of places and people on paper:
images, scenes of urban life, crowded squares, ladies shopping,
panoramic rooftop views, people seated in cafés or by the river.
Their motto is "see the world one sketch at the time." They also
organize sketch crawls and symposiums around the world. In three days
they map out a city one sketch after another. This symposium in Lisbon
is their second with more than 200 participants from 21 countries. The
first stop was Portland
. Sketches and images from the different cities can be found on the
Flickr map of urbansketchers.org.




From
July 21 to 23 there will be meetings, lectures, exhibits, and above all
outdoor sketching sessions with a team of artists, professionals and
sketching enthusiasts, architects, illustrators, travellers, all armed
with notebooks, sketch pads, pencils, watercolors, pens and brushes.
Technique will follow instinct.


Moleskine celebrates the event with two special editions: a
Watercolor Notebook and a
Japanese Sketchbook,
both offered in the large version 13X21cm. The Urban Sketchers cover is
in contrasting black and white. The personalized band uses a drawing by
Portuguese illustrator João Catarino. Inside there is a map of the
meetings spread throughout the city.
Further information on the symposium can be found at the
official site The International Urban Sketching Symposium
