Urban Sketching
Urban Sketchers is a global community of artists that practice drawing on location in cities, towns and villages they live in or travel to. The Urban Sketchers movement was started on Flickr in 2007 by a journalist Gabriel Campanario . In 2009 Campanario established Urban Sketchers as a nonprofit organization.
