Gympie Urban Sketchers

Gympie has some stunning old buildings and Urban Sketchers will capture their beauty at key sites throughout Gympie town.
You will meet each Saturday morning for five weeks at a separate location, then on the sixth week attend a full day workshop at Gympie Regional Gallery where the focus will be on completing one small artwork from your chosen location.
The completed artwork will be mounted in a lovely Beechwood frame and hang in an exhibition at Gympie Regional Gallery from 1 - 24 July with opening event Saturday 3 July.
Gympie Urban Sketchers is facilitated by architectural artist Miriam Innes who is internationally renowned for her large-scale hyper-realistic charcoal sketches of the built environment.
Miriam draws attention to the often neglected details found in suburban structures and invites a closer examination of architectural features, materials, and structures, while challenging viewers to rethink the beauty and rich complexity which is often overlooked.
