The Urban Sketchers manifesto is strictly about drawing on location, sketching what you see in context, but for various reasons that’s not always possible – either because of working hours, travel restrictions, or you simply don’t feel comfortable drawing in public.<\/p>\n

I’ve heard some people say that you should only sketch from life, not a photo, and in some ways I agree because when drawing something that you see with your own eyes you see so much more.<\/p>\n

However<\/em>, there is also a very valuable place for working from photos – apart from anything else, it helps you practice!\u00a0 Not only that, but it can help you see the world in a different way.<\/p>\n

If you enjoy drawing, sketching, painting, you’re looking to learn, or simply feel inspired, there are literally thousands of different online groups where you can indulge your creative interest.<\/p>\n

One of these groups is called Virtual Sketchwalk<\/strong> – which is a place reserved for people to work exclusively from photos. It’s almost the complete opposite of the Urban Sketchers group (yet many members are also urban sketchers!).\u00a0 Every month, a new sketch walk is posted with maps and photos – and this month, June is all about Languedoc!\u00a0 Some of my photos are the subject, and the event administrator has added a few extras as well.\u00a0 So after a couple of months of confinement this is a great chance to explore this fabulous corner of France – even if it’s not possible to sketch here in person.<\/p>\n

Please do check out the group<\/strong><\/a> and even better do a sketch. If you share your sketch photo on Instagram, please tag me @sketchlanguedoc and add a hashtag #SketchLanguedoc and #VirtualSketchwalk and I can repost your work for more to see.<\/p>\n

Have fun, and enjoy your visit!<\/p>\n
