On the 4th of December 2023, the Downtown Sketchers embarked on an artistic escapade within the chic confines of The Municipal Hotel for some urban sketching. Tucked away in the lively heart of Liverpool, this gem proudly holds the title of the sole MGallery hotel in the UK, strategically placing itself as the perfect haven for those eager to uncover the city’s treasures. Picture yourself basking in luxury as you explore this stylish oasis on the iconic Dale Street, surrounded by conveniently close landmarks. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s the portal to an elevated city experience – and some urban sketching.
Despite a touch of seasonal colds keeping a few urban sketchers in the cozy embrace of home, a spirited group of ten creative souls, complemented by the addition of a new, talented member, graced the location. While the allure of coffee was undeniable in this plush setting, a vital elixir for urban sketchers, the group gathered their artistic wits and dispersed around the hotel to craft some truly splendid artworks.
As the clock ticked away, the Downtown Sketchers reconvened for a “throw-down” – a lively showcase of the day’s creative exploits. This was more than a mere display; it was a moment to exchange stories, chat animatedly, and share invaluable tips and tricks. The variety of interpretations of this luxurious location added an extra layer of charm to the gathering.
Calling all artistic souls! If you feel the pull of the sketchpad and yearn to join the creative fray, mark your calendars for next Monday and immerse yourself in another urban sketching adventure with the Downtown Sketchers. Trust us; it’s an experience that transcends the ordinary.
