Urban Sketchers is a global organization found in 394 cities in more than 60 countries, with more than 120,000 members worldwide. Some 325 members have joined the Urban Sketchers of New Haven Facebook group, which is open to all. According to Elizabeth Stocker, one of the members of Urban Sketchers of New Haven, the group draws “on location,” capturing what they see from direct observations. “We support each other and draw together,” Stocker says. “Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings and are a record of time and place. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.” Urban Sketchers is a global community there are many groups one can tap into either at home or while traveling.
