Stroud 10th September 2022
The Newcastle Urban Sketchers met today in Stroud.

Some of the buildings drawn included; Stroud House, The Rectory, Stroud Post Office and the Central Hotel.
Mayfield 12 March 2022
The Urban Sketchers met today in Mayfield to spend some time drawing some of the beautiful old homes there. As always, the morning finished with the group enjoying a coffee together and sharing the results of their work.
Hamilton 24th July 2021
The Newcastle Urban Sketchers group braved the windy cold conditions to sketch Hamilton's Beaumont St and surrounds. ​
Urban Sketchers  met at the Junction on Sunday morning 16 February 2020. Everyone found lots of inspiration for sketching in such a busy place. As always,we all  enjoyed coffee together just near where we were working.  ​
A hardy group braved the chilly winds to sketch the derelict houses at the top of Merewether. An interesting challenge with twisted walls and even a rusting car. A coffee at Barbara's, enjoying the wonderful views towards Bar Beach and Newcastle, was a very welcome finish to the day.
