Auckland Anniversary Day Big Draw

Last Monday's first ever Auckland Anniversary Day Big Draw, saw about 25 or so sketchers happily drawing away at the Wynyard Quarter accompanied by an excellent soundtrack courtesy of the Laneway Festival. Very pleased with the numbers first time out and judging by the comments from happy participants and interested public we can look forward to many more, and larger, sketchcrawls.

The waterfront was packed with the various festival goers - Laneway Festival, Seafood Festival, Buskers Festival and Anniversary Day Regatta spectators which made it difficult at times to keep track of the group, but provided heaps of subject matter for our sketchbooks!

The funky old buoys arranged as a playground provide an excellent perch to sketch from...

Thank you to everyone who turned up, I look forward to sketching with you again!
