Day 2! 13th Urban Sketchers International Symposium in Poznan.

by Anka Ziętkiewicz

The second day of the Urban Sketchers International Symposium was fascinating, exhausting, and unique. Being a correspondent is no piece of cake, but the reward is the opportunity to meet so many amazing artists.

I started the day sketching at a Elisabeth Alley lecture Sketching in the Arctics

Then I went to sketch Reham Ali’s workshop. There was a very pleasant atmosphere there, but after two sketches I had to go to another workshop.

I took my bike today, it was a very good idea. I cycled to Przemyslaw Hill. Another group was sketching at the Museum of Applied Arts, but unfortunately, the people there had already dispersed, and my sketch turned out very poorly. So I went to Kolegiacki Square and managed to find the next workshop I was supposed to sketch – Paul Wang’s Turn Everyday Objects Into Super Power Tools

I made my sketch and wondered which group to choose next. I met my friend Kamil, who was on his way to take photos at the Dan Archer workshop, so I went with him. It was a surprising workshops with a rapping cafe owner.

In the afternoon, I went to a Fred Lynch demo.

I sketched a Stephanie Bower demo with the last of my energy.
