Beautiful sketching day at the Cincinnati Zoo for our regular outing. Nice work everyone, and great to see you there! #Usk #urbansketch #urbansketchers #urbansketching #sketching #cincinnatizoo
A collection of seven sketchbooks showing various facets of the Cincinnati Zoo. Tigers, elephants, and Halloween decorations were featured this month. The proud sketchers pose with their sketchbooks. Seven made it to the Throwdown, but one had to leave early and her sketch was gorgeous too!

Impromptu sketch outing to Cincinnati’s Public Landing for the River Roots Festival! #Usk #urbansketch #urbansketchers #urbansketching #sketching
Sketches of the festival by Cincinnati Urban Sketchers included sketches in ink, graphite, and watercolor. Six hardy sketchers braved the traffic, parking, and festival crowds to gather on the Purple People Bridge for a view of the riverboats at the Public Landing. Cincinnati’s own Belle of Cincinnati and River Queen were front and center, with nearly a dozen other boats keeping them company.

A beautiful if breezy day to sketch the Mammoths of Cincinnati Museum Center’s new Treasures Facility. Can’t wait til the baby mammoths join the parents! #urbansketching
Sketches of the mammoth statues outside the collections facility at Cincinnati Museum Center. There are a variety of media used, including ink, pencil, watercolor, marker, pastel and more. The sketches range from 5x7” to much larger, 11x14” and bigger. 17 proud sketchers pose with their sketches in front of one of the mammoths on a gorgeous spring day. Sketches in progress. There are 2 mammoth statues outside the treasures facility, so our sketches had many options for which subject to choose.
