I love drawing the natural world: landscapes, animals, mountains, flowers, all of it. But lately I love doodling coffee mugs β˜•οΈ and western things 🐎

Lately my favorite art supplies are oil pastels, watercolors, and brush pens.

I've heard awesome things about Kansas City! Like there are lots of fountains. Is it true?

City of Fountains, it’s true.

Hi currently in Queens NY, love drawing Dogs! My favorites materials lately are dual brush, acrylic markers with color pencil and pens!

Beth Spencer's avatar

We gotta draw more dogs! Also, I think Marci is in Queens! We met in person last year and it was such a treat to hang out and draw with her!

Hello from Glasgow, Scotland. I love to draw children's illustrations. My favourite mediums aside from digital are, ink, oil pastels and pencils.

I'm in Bellingham, Washington. I love meeting up with the Bellingham Urban Sketchers (even though I find it intimidating), and I love drawing trees (either from life or from photographs). My favorite media are pencil, pen, and watercolors, and I'm lately becoming more interested in watercolor crayons. 😁

Hey Lori! I know Missy is from Olympia, which is 2ish hours from you. I gotta get to Washington and draw with y'all sometime! (@missymax on IG)

I’ve just started drawing trees. So complex! I’m in Port Angeles, WA, so lots of trees around here.

Lori Louise's avatar

Port Angeles is so wonderful!

Bellingham has lots of wonderful trees, too. My favorite tree in Bellingham is at such a busy intersection that I've never been able to draw it. 🀭

I'm in Charlottesville, Virginia. :) I would love some plein air/drawing meetup/material swap friends!

There is a Charlottesville Urban Sketchers chapter on Facebook, though I don't know how often they meet. Great town for sketching!

Herndon, Virginia, USA (technically a suburb of Washington, DC). I like drawing interesting buildings and diary comics. I like to draw in ink and then color with watercolor crayons (I guess technically they're Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Aquarelle Luminous Water-Soluble Pastels but whatever - they're crayons).

I have drawn with the local Urban Sketchers group but they always meet in DC proper and sometimes I'm just not in the mood to travel over an hour each way for a sketch outing.

Just north of Oklahoma City, OK

I'm a surface pattern designer and I have three genres I love to play in the most.

One being beautiful abstract watercolor floral patterns and then two being fun, whimsical aliens/youth patterns. Third, I love to play around with abstract texture paintings.

Supplies I use are pencils, waterproof pens, watercolor and acrylics.

I'm really starting to get into art journaling too so I can be creative without "having a project", if that makes sense?

Would love to connect and have creative friends❀️

Hello from Jakarta, IndonesiaπŸ‘‹πŸ»

I like to doodle wobbly stars and (also) wobbly snakes that are very anatomically inaccurate. My favorite art supply is my trusted pentel caplet mechanical pencil that I had for years now with 2b pencil lead. It's so simple and easy!

What you like to draw? I like to draw lots of things but when I look in my sketchbook it turns out I mostly draw nature and birds :)

Hi! I'm in Union City, NJ (on the Hudson River).

I primarily paint houses, and other buildings, using watercolor and ink.

I love Daniel Smith paints, Princeton brushes, and Arches watercolor blocks.

Would love to hear if anyone has advice for setting up a dedicated art workspace in a small apartment!

I’m in Port Angeles, WA and I like drawing animals, people (not so good at that), and just starting to do landscapes. I like to make zines about my life and share them with family. My style is more on the cartoon side than realistic style. I pretty much use digital media only - I have two crazy Beagles and they would eat any art supplies.

Thank you Beth - this is so great - art friends are the BEST. I have a small, local group that I sketch and paint with - would love others to join. And/or i'd be game for a NYC or anywhere-ish outings. I mostly paint - with watercolor and gouache. I have a thing for anything vintage. And good coffeeshops, park benches, old houses and buildings. Libraries too.

I’m in Newark-on-Trent, England.

I love drawing and painting semi-abstract/patterned natural elements - plants, birds, flowers,trees, small animals.

I mainly work in gouache/acrylic/watercolour mixed with posca pens, tombow markers and fineliners.

I love lots of detail and pattern.
