I am not used to this format... But I love accumulating a spread of small sketches across a spread. Lately I love sketchbooks so much that I have no desire to make standalone pieces. I feel a little conflicted. Sketchbook art embraces process. @usktoronto.bsky.social #urbandrawing #sketchbook

Went sketching at the historic Don Jail a couple weeks ago. I don't know if I could go there alone to sketch, so it was comforting to sketch with a group! The building is now used as an extension to a hospital. @usktoronto.bsky.social @urbansketchers.bsky.social #urbandrawing
Watercolour, ink and coloured pencil. Sketch of historic jail cells.
