Urban Oasis: Downtown Sketchers Find Inspiration ontop of Kenyons Steps!
Sunlight streamed through the glass, as the Downtown Sketchers descended upon Kenyons Steps for a truly unique sketching session. This modern haven, nestled in the heart of Liverpool L1, is a vibrant fusion of urban energy and lush greenery, providing the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of artistic exploration.
A Feast for the Senses: Sketching the Botanical Beauty at Kenyons Steps
Kenyons Steps is a far cry from your typical urban environment. Glass walls allow natural light to bathe the space, while a diverse array of plants – from cascading ferns to towering plants – create a serene oasis in the heart of the city. This botanical wonderland instantly captivated our sketchers, who settled in with their tools, eager to capture its unique essence.
From Verdant Vistas to Architectural Lines: Capturing Every Detail
Some artists meticulously rendered the intricate details of the space – the interplay of light and shadow on the lush foliage, the vibrant colours of blooming flowers, or the geometric patterns of the exposed glass walls framing the greenery. Others opted for a more macro view, sketching the detail.
A Throw-Down Amidst the Greenery: Sharing and Connecting
After a fulfilling afternoon of sketching nestled amongst the plants, we gathered for our customary “throw-down” – a post-sketching social gathering where we share our creations and connect over our shared love of art. Seated amidst the greenery, with refreshing drinks, conversations flowed freely. Encouraging critiques and friendly advice were exchanged, fostering a sense of camaraderie that transcended skill levels.
A Welcoming Space for All Urban Sketchers
As always, the Downtown Sketchers meetup at Loretta’s at Kenyons Steps was an inclusive affair. Our sessions are open to everyone, regardless of experience level. This afternoon saw seasoned urban sketchers in Liverpool sharing their expertise with enthusiastic newcomers, all united by a desire to capture the essence of this vibrant city through the lens of their art.
A Day Filled with Creativity and Connection
The combination of a stunning location, a refreshing atmosphere, and the supportive spirit of the Downtown Sketchers community made for a truly inspiring afternoon. From the intricate details of the plants to the lively conversations during the throw-down, every aspect of this meetup embodied the joy of urban sketching.
