Architecture & Autumn / A Sketching Meetup

Dear All!

For our next Sketch Circle meetup, we’ll be drawing in the beautiful Rose Garden of Millenium House in City Park. 🍂🌹✏️
The beautifully renovated Millenium House from the 1800-s and its garden, surrounded by the vibrant colours of autumn, create a wonderfully atmospheric setting that feels like stepping into another century. There will be plenty to capture in your sketchbook, from the elegant architecture and garden details to the colourful autumn scenery.
Come and spend some creative time outdoors, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and meet fellow sketching enthusiasts. There are benches where you can sit comfortably and draw, so just bring your sketchbook and your favourite drawing materials.
Whether you’re an experienced sketcher or simply curious to give it a try, everyone is welcome! 🍁🎨

Skill level: No experience is required. Whether you are drawing in public for the first time or are a professional artist, you are all very welcome! The focus is simply on creativity, enjoying the process of drawing, and recharging in good company and a nice environment.

The event works with any number of participants, but we appreciate if you RSVP — or cancel your RSVP — in advance, in line with your plans. There is a technical limit on this platform to accept 10 attendees only but in reality there is no limit.

Come to practice, come to draw for joy, or simply come to spend an hour making something in good company. Hoping to have you there!

Tips for sketching in public - what you'll need if this is your first time:

Paper — loose sheets or a sketchbook
A hard wooden drawing board or hard-back sketchbook
Graphite pencils of different softness — a set of HB, 2B, 4B, and 6B can come in handy
If you plan to sketch with watercolours, a portable, refillable water-brush might be your friend, along with water-soluble/aquarelle pencils. They give you a lot of flexibility when time is short!
Markers and fountain pens are also great choices for sketching
Nothing is quite as quick as charcoal or pastel — but you might need a few tissues or a towel to clean your hands afterwards :)
