Welcome

I'm delighted to announce this new blog of Urban Sketchers Portland. Local artist Alanna Randall will coordinate the effort of bringing Portland sketchers together under this roof.

Happy sketching Portland!

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

The Urban Sketchers logo was created by Italian graphic designer Franco Lancio.
