This month's 3rd Saturday outing to the Mercantile Library had an AMAZING turnout! Although we were chastised for being a little too loud at times, it was a rich environment for sketching!

Cannot wait for our next outing at NKU!

Cincinnati Zoo Sketch Outing

Most of the sketching crew, some had to leave early...
The Cincinnati Urban Sketchers had a magical day sketching at the Zoo. The weather gods were benign and it turned out to be a perfect day to draw outside!

We went to our usual favorite exhibits like the African lions, dog, Savannah and OF COURSE Fiona!
