What is Urban Sketching ?

Urban Sketchers is a global community of artists that practice drawing on location in cities, towns and villages they live in or travel to.

-In 2018 i have started my own series of Urban sketching tours/workshops among all Palestinian cities , starting from Nablus , Ramallah , Tulkarm , and lately Bethlehem , My target was to :

1. encourage the concept of Urban Sketching in Palestine and its cities/Villages.

2. shed light on the impact of sketching/Arts on Health and wellbeing and how it can be sometimes a way of contacting with others.

3. Focus on the concept that says : “ ART IS FOR EVERYONE � what ever was your background , wherever you come from , your career , your place , we all can pick a pen and sketch .

4. Strengthen our relationship with the city and the surroundings through sketching the daily scenes of our life
