Happy Anniversary: Urban Sketchers and Draw: Madison

Today I read that the Urban Sketchers blog just celebrated its 5th anniversary.  That blog and group was the inspiration for Draw: Madison which is coming up on it's 2nd anniversary next month. Dana Petit founded the group in December 2011 and put up flyers about it.  I first saw one in  January 2012 and eventually found Dana sketching at the zoo that month.  I encourage anyone interested in drawing to check out Urban Sketchers blog.  Other art blogs I find interesting are:  Lines and Colors,  Making a Mark and Roz Wound Up (Roz Stendahl is in the Twin Cities and is passionate about drawing and often has detailed information about drawing materials new and old on her blog.)  Happy sketching everyone!
