Sketch portlandia! Click for details

10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Meet at Starbucks at SW 2nd & Taylor; if raining, sketch SW 2nd from windows or the outdoor sheltered area outside or at the World Trade Center one block away. This area has a lot of nice older buildings and I've always been fond of the view of curving MAX tracks and trees at the Yamhill Max Station. Gather again for lunch at Steamers Asian Bistro at 5th & Madison - it's about 5 blocks away, but they have some very cheap food options and a good window view of Portlandia (the statue)!

Thanks, Kalina, for researching this option!

Interactive Sketching in Portland Map


View Sketching in Portland in a larger map

In late July of 2010, the city of Portland, Oregon (USA), became a canvas for drawing enthusiasts from around the world as Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) and Urban Sketchers (USK) hosted the 1st International Urban Sketching Symposium. The three-day event attracted participants and presenters from diverse corners of the world. In addition to the U.S., other countries represented were Australia, Belgium, Canada, Mauritania, Italy, Japan, Singapore, the Dominican Republic and Spain. The program consisted of lectures, panels, exhibits and field sketching sessions led by a diverse team of international presenters with backgrounds in art education, architecture, illustration and journalism. This blog documents the experience since the Symposium was announced in March. A selection of photographs from the event can be found in this flickr collection. Sketches produced by participants during the event can also be seeing on the Symposium flickr group.
