The World of Urban Sketching: Celebrating the Evolution of Drawing and Painting on Location Around the Globe - New Inspirations to See Your World One Sketch at a Time

In this beautiful volume, Stephanie Bower showcases the work of more than 150 Urban Sketchers in almost 40 countries across the globe. I am deeply impressed by this update to The Art of Urban Sketching, the seminal book by Gabi Campanario, founder of Urban Sketchers, dedicated to on-location sketching from direct observation.The World of Urban Sketching is comprehensive in its scope, celebrating new artists and revisiting many of those integral to the initial growth of the Urban Sketching movement. The reader tours the world one city at a time meeting the artists who share their stories, sketches, tools, tips and techniques. There is also a section on how sketchers adapted to the global pandemic, when meeting as a group for on-location sketching was not possible, continuing to create art, build community, and inspire others.The beauty of Urban Sketching is its emphasis on recording one’s experiences of the world through direct observation, connecting with and supporting others, and appreciating every individual’s unique take on their surroundings, creating community through art, locally and internationally. This book manages to capture a sense of the energy, freshness, and optimism that is such a huge part of urban sketching.Whether new to urban sketching, a seasoned sketcher, or a non-artist interested in seeing the world through others’ eyes, one sketch at a time, this book is an enjoyable read and an invaluable resource.

Stephanie Bower has done an excellent job putting together a great collection of urban sketches. They're not only beautiful to look at but also teach you something. In this book, you'll find all kinds of drawing styles, from loose and artistic to very detailed and precise. Each drawing shows a different way of looking at a place, and the book lets you peek into the lives and creative processes of people who draw city scenes from all over the world.

Stephanie Bower is the best teacher. You will easily change your abilities. Best is that she teaches you how to understand perspective. Suddenly everything falls into place and the "ahah" "I get it now" helps you improve your drawing ability. Adding touches of beautiful watercolor is the best.She is the best teacher I have ever had.Thanks Stephanie!

This book is filled with full color, illustrations by various Urban Sketcher’s. It gives a brief history of the Urban Sketcher, him or herself and samples of their art in locations throughout the world. Many sections include tips on creating the pieces that are illustrated in the book, including what types of pen, paper, and color, the artist used. I love this book!

I have been sketching daily for 3 years and now I venture outside to sketch my surroundings. This Book is a Wonderful resource for any sketcher to have. I now really "see" my world in a more impactful & artistic way and this Book has influenced my vision.

Another great addition to the urban sketching books. Beautiful artwork by artists from around the world and the process how they made them.
