Postcard Exchange with Urban Sketchers Querétaro, Mexico
At our Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Sketchwalk on Saturday 15 August, we’re delighted to be taking part in a special postcard exchange with Urban Sketchers Querétaro, Mexico.
A member of the Querétaro chapter will be visiting London and bringing 30 hand-drawn postcards from fellow sketchers in Mexico to exchange with participants from Urban Sketchers London.
The idea is simple. Create an original urban sketch on postcard-sized paper, drawn on location in keeping with the Urban Sketchers manifesto. On the back, write a few words about the sketch, yourself, and include your Instagram (or other social media handle if you’d like), and your postcard will be exchanged with a sketcher from Querétaro.
It’s a simple but meaningful way to share a little piece of London, discover someone else’s corner of the world, and perhaps begin a new international sketching friendship.
You can see how enthusiastically the Querétaro chapter has embraced the project here: Instagram: Urban Sketchers Querétaro or Facebook: Urban Sketchers Querétaro
