BACK ISSUES http://www.chelseamagazines.com/shop ISSN NO. 1473 - 4729One of the many things I love about drawing and painting
is that there is a style and approach to suit any personality.
Expressive, single-minded types tend to make good gallery
artists, able to generate works from scratch, while illustrators
tend to be good problem solvers, better equipped to react to a
brief creatively. Likewise, if you’re shy and retiring, there’s the
comfort of a silent studio, whereas if you are more of an
outgoing sort, then sketching in public offers a chance to make new connections.
For this issue, we spoke to two artists who, as members of the burgeoning
Urban Sketchers community, definitely fit the latter profile. The Glasgow and
Yorkshire correspondents respectively, Wil Freeborn and Lynne Chapman both
enjoy meeting people and experiencing life through the medium of drawing.
If you’ve previously dismissed “urban sketching” as some sort of cutting edge
alternative to street art and you enjoy the works in this issue, I wholeheartedly
encourage you to explore the community further at http://www.urbansketchers.org.
Stretching across the globe, the network is friendly, supportive and not-for-profit,
dedicated instead to encouraging people to draw the world around them and
share the results. And whatever your personality, getting new people to discover
the joys of art is one thing that we can all support.
