SEE THE WORLD ONE DRAWING AT A TIME...It's really important to keep practising your drawing - drawing regularly will help train your eye and hone your drawing skills, and like any skill, unused it will become rusty.What better way to do this than getting out and about and drawing your surroundings.Urban Sketchers is a fantastic website that I wanted to tell you about as it showcases work by people drawing the urban landscape from all over the world. This is an opportunity to see wide range of media, styles and approaches that people use to tackle this subject area. You can't help but be inspired - and you can link your own blog to the site too and join the 'global sketch crawl'.

If you're inspired to have a go at drawing the urban landscape, bear in mind the following:
COMING IN FEBRUARY...PICASSO: CHALLENGING THE PAST25th February to 7th June at London's National Gallery. We don't usually think of Picasso in terms of the Old Masters as his work appears so radically different. Yet Picasso received a traditional artist's education - studying the works of the Old Masters and learning how to draw by copying their works, as they had learned before him. "The exhibition is organised thematically, showing how Picasso repeatedly returned to the great subjects of the European painting tradition, analysing them as his personal style developed in myriad directions. Sections include self portraits, the Spanish tradition of male portraiture, the female nude, still life, and the seated female figure." You need to book in advance to see this exhibition and you can find out more
