It's OFFICIAL!


We received word this morning that our application to have Ottawa become an official urban sketcher regional chapter had been accepted by the USk membership committee!

Artists Colin White, Kristina Corre and Cindi Foreman made the application in late 2015.

This is such great news!

Urban sketching is free and open to sketchers of all ages and all levels. Join us by liking our facebook page where we announce sketch meetups and share our sketches https://www.facebook.com/urbansketchersottawa/

 Urban Sketchers Regional Chapters

An Urban Sketchers Regional Chapter is a geographically-based community of individuals who practice on-location sketching in the spirit of the Urban Sketchers manifesto and has been recognized as such by the Urban Sketchers Executive Board.

Urban Sketchers Manifesto
  • We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.
  • Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.
  • Our drawings are a record of time and place.
  • We are truthful to the scenes we witness.
  • We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.
  • We support each other and draw together.
  • We share our drawings online.
  • We show the world, one drawing at a time.

Regional Chapters
"The global Urban Sketchers community offers the opportunity to make new friends in your area and to learn from others as you start capturing your surroundings with pen and paper and sharing your results. 
We are a supportive group where you’ll find inspiration online and a network of sketching buddies all over the world. If you’re planning a trip, you may wish to arrange to sketch with members of an USk Regional Chapter in the city you will be visiting. 
You may also connect with fellow sketchers in our groups on Flickr and Facebook.
