28th International Sketchcrawl

We had a nice turnout of genuine Alice artsy types today, possibly the best SC ever! It's going to be hard to top it next time. Courtenay played some wonderful, moving music in an acoustically amazing airplane hanger, whilst the rest of us chilled out and made some lovely sketches. A short trip out to the cemetary next door turned up a sketch of Albert Namitjira's grave - apparently all the great pioneers of this town are buried together there, including the powerfully eccentric Miss Olive Pink! The taxidermists' room will have to wait another day...

The next Alice Springs sketchcrawl (28th worldwide sketch-a-thon) will be held at Vietnamese Restaurant, Heffernan Road (off Colonel Rose Drive, on the way out to the airport) at noon Saturday 31st July.

Wide Open Spaces Sketchcrawl

Wide Open Spaces Desert Festival, Ross River, Alice Springs, Northern Territory April 30-May 2 Long weekend. There will be a sketchcrawl around the festival. We'll provide some paper & pencils/pens, watercolour paints, brushes etc, but strongly recommend that you BYO.

We'll meet at the art workshop at say around 10am and 2pm Saturday and Sunday. See Amanda, Karyn or Fiona. You may choose to chill out and do some basket weaving or checkout some of the other art workshops whilst you're in the space.

The idea is that there will be many wonderful photos of the event, but we, as sketchcrawlers will document the festival in drawings. So we'll traipse around drawing pictures of everything that we see, a bit like old school photo-journalism, except before cameras. Cool?

You won't need to register for this, just show up at the workshop area at 10am or 2pm with your sketching kit. Enjoy!

:)

A very successful 26th Sketchcrawl in Alice!

There were several artists, who as yet are unsure of how to upload digital photos to the 'net, so I've done it for them. (See the flickr photostream at top right corner of this webpage)

The next sketch crawl will be Saturday May 15th at the Connellan Airways Museum, in Memorial Drive, Alice Springs. Meeting at 11am next time. See you there!

To register, please visit: www.sketchcrawl.com and search for "Alice Springs"

First Sketchcrawl of 2010! February 27th

Well we had a small but enthusiastic turnout to the last sketchcrawl and with some terrific results! http://sketchcrawlalicesprings.blogspot.com/
http://www.sketchcrawl.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=4670

This time I think we can start at Olive Pink at 8am on Saturday 27th February. Contact me by leaving a comment to get my phone number, or reply to this message with further suggestions of where to meet. I'd like to perhaps head out to Ellery Big Hole for a swim and picnic lunch + more sketching. Hand up who's in?
