Melbourne

[lumar]

So is there a melbourne sketchgroup? I posted in the old thread but it seems dead now...

and if theres not, is anyone else interested in starting one?

feel free to msn me [email protected] to discuss.

[monkeyman478]

Come on guys and gals there must be some more melbournians out there intrested, Rargh

[daestwen]

You can always start it up with just one or two people, you know. That's what we did in Toronto. :]

[renew]

I'm in melbourne, interested too..

[lumar]

well we are up to 3. anyone have suggestions on what we might do in such a sketchgroup?

i think the old one used to head to a cafe and draw things around them..

[Kroevyn]

Hey, another interested Melbournian here

I've never gone to a sketchgroup before, so I have no idea how this stuff works, but outside the state library is a good spot for drawing. Or there's the NGV? Wouldn't mind cafe either.

[Muz]

Good luck guys .

Expect to have constantly wavering numbers these first few weeks. we started the Brisbane one up and are still experiencing a constant change in people. one week its 2 another its 7. But its slowly starting to even out.

[lumar]

yeah state library sounds like a good first spot.

ive never gone to a sketchgroup before either but i guess its jsut a matter of us agreeing on a time to meet up... how does some time on a sunday soon, at state library sound..?

edit: come visit us in melb muzz you ranger!

[monkeyman478]

[Elissimo]

Hey guys

I'm moving to Melbourne really soon and am hoping to tag along... is there somewhere to join or where news/updates are posted?

[knoxie]

Hey Elissimo,

We had our first weekend back at sketch group last weekend. it was hammering down rain, and blowing a gale. But the hardcore sketchers were present!

Looking forward to seeing you at the next one.

Carl.

[Elissimo]

Hi Carl, thank you for the reply

I will keep an eye out for details of the next one!

[knoxie]

The sketch group is a weekly event. So come along any sunday and we'll be there. This Sunday there is also a bonus event at 2pm. The ladies at Dr Sketchy are running their event in the city a 2pm. Should be fun!

See you this weekend y'all!

[knoxie]

Oh sweet Lumar, looking forward to meeting you.

We had another member join us last weekend for some gesturals of tram goers on Bourke st before breaking for some lunch then coming home to avoid the rain and watch the CA lecture with George Pratt and Carl Dobsky.

See you all soon! SMS me on 0408 409 909 if you can't find us on the day!
