For the months of December, January and February, I’ve been traveling! Virtual traveling!

Virtual Sketchwalk is a Facebook Page with 836 (and growing) members. At the beginning of each month, the Admin ~ Kate Powell ~ posts around 50 photographs of interesting places, local and foreign. Sketchwalks involve a group of artists who meet up at a specific location and spend time sketching together at that location. Virtual Sketchwalk brings together artists who might not be able to travel yet still can enjoy sketching and learning about the area. It gives us a chance to practice our skills and then share our artwork with each other on Facebook. Each of us can choose from the photographs and we can sketch as many as we want. It’s fun to see the different interpretations that evolve from each person.
Here are the sketches I contributed to the group:

This is such a great idea. I wish I could draw so I could join in. There are so many places I would love to travel and this is a nice way to get a look at other parts of the world.

I know I’ll never get to Greece and this was a wonderful way to be there virtually. There’s a nice group of people who participate in the sketching. 🙂

What a great idea Mary Lou and I really enjoyed all the artwork you shared. You’re much more creative than I am and it would be wonderful to have a group to share likeminded interests with. I hope you’ll bring more of your work to future parties x
Thanks for linking up with us at MLSTL and I’ve shared on my SM 🙂

Hi Mary Lou aren’t there some great groups on Facebook. I’ve not seen this one but I’m so pleased you have enjoyed your virtual travelling as well as sketching.You are so talented and I think the Greek homes with Windows and Shutters are my favourites. Thanks for sharing at #MLSTL and have a great week.
