The USk-DFW sketch crawl is this Saturday, Nov. 17th in Grapevine. Meet in front of the Visitors’ Center at 1:30. Free parking is behind the Visitor Center building. Address: Grapevine Visitor Information Center, 636 S Main St, Grapevine, TX 76051 https://www.grapevinetexasusa.com/listing/grapevine-visitor-information-center/122/
Grapevine is loaded with great sketch opportunities: the old train station, the Farmers’ Market, old feed mill silos, a quaint Old Town along Main Street and eleven wineries/tasking rooms, many on main street.
The old-time train leaves the Main Street station at 1:00 PM, so come early if you want to see and sketch that. Also come early and have lunch at one of dozens of restaurants along Main Street.

URBAN SKETCHERS MANIFESTO
• We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.
• Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.
• Our drawings are a record of time and place.
• We are truthful to the scenes we witness.
• We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.
• We support each other and draw together.
• We share our drawings online.
• We show the world, one drawing at a time.
GUIDELINES
Before sharing your drawings in the pool, make sure they meet these basic criteria and they are done in the spirit of the Urban Sketchers Manifesto:
• You did the drawing on location, not from photos or memory.
• You have written the location of the sketch (town and state/country) in the headline or caption.
• Studio still lifes, posed models, and drawings from imagination do not meet the guidelines or the spirit of the Urban Sketchers Manifesto.
• We also encourage members to write descriptions and stories associated with each sketch.
Images that do not meet these guidelines will be removed.
