For anyone who has not visited UrbanSketchers.org, I am going to "publish" their manifesto as it is written on their website. I realized that this is quite important to anyone participating or even just looking at this blog to know what guides those of us who get a thrill out of drawing outdoors. Here it is .....
USK 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.
I have requested that they add this blog, Urban Sketchers Winnipeg to their list of members. They warn you that it will take four to six weeks to add new members so I will just keep checking back to see when we appear in the list. There are several other Canadian Urban Sketcher sites but of course this is the first from Winnipeg.
