On Monday 31 July 2023, we spent a wet Monday at World Museum. Sketches range from a skeleton and a decorated vessel to an astronaut and a blue catering van parked outside.
On Monday 24 July 2023, we worked at Central Library on William Brown Street. The sketchbooks include a stack of bound books, faces and views through the library, brought together for the end-of-morning throwdown.
On Monday 17 July 2023, we met at Chantilly’s Beatles Café and sketched along Mathew Street. The throwdown brought together views down the narrow street, its shopfronts and figures drawn around the Cavern Quarter.
On Monday 10 July 2023, we met at St Nicholas Church. The bell, stained glass, arches and fittings gave us subjects at very different scales, from a single cross to a view through the nave.
On Monday 3 July 2023, we took shelter from the rain at FACT on Wood Street. Sketches from the café take in the stairs, a projector and the façades across the street.
On Monday 26 June 2023, we sketched around the Liverpool John Moores University campus on Copperas Hill. The drawings pick out the sports building, people at rest and the rhythm of columns along a covered walkway.
On Monday 19 June 2023, we met in St James Gardens below Liverpool Cathedral. Several sketchbooks turn towards the round Huskisson monument, showing the steps, trees and stonework from different sides.
On Monday 12 June 2023, we drew from the roof at Central Library, looking across the city skyline and down towards the library’s domes. Other drawings record the interior, readers, railings and roof furniture.
On Monday 5 June 2023, we met on London Road by TJ Hughes and sketched the street’s buildings, turrets, signs and a passing vehicle. Pencil studies, pen drawings and watercolours made up the collection.
