40th Worldwide Sketchcrawl Brisbane Australia

We met at the Kangaroo Cliffs Cafe at 10.00 am Sketched awhile, whilst having coffee, then moved on along the Public Art Trail.

The Brisbane River Public Art Trail - 2.4 kilometre walk that meanders along the Brisbane River's edge on the Kangaroo Point boardwalk. The walk begins at the Maritime Museum, South Bank and ends at the Thornton Street ferry terminal, after taking a detour to the top of the cliffs at Kangaroo Point Park.

Lagoon at Minnippi Parklands 
This is one of the rare surviving lagoons from pre-settlement days when low lying areas around the Brisbane. The city fringes featured hundreds of them. but since white man’s arrival most have been filled in. This one is teaming with bird life, and is a joy to sit here and sketch. It is a real beautiful sight, when the lotus flowers are in bloom.

Sketches from my Urban Art Binge workshop

URBAN ART BINGE is run by Emily Fong, and Joannah Underhill.  A fabulous couple of girls, who go out of their way to teach their students how to sketch out this wonderful city of ours.

Today, we were sketching perspective in West End, and ended up at Musgrave Park for the Greek Paniyiri Festival. Here are some of my sketches.
