Svetlana Mikhalevich

Odessa community of sketchers celebrated 5 years in August. Artists, illustrators, designers, architects and enthusiasts, who are not indifferent to drawing, come together to sketch the urban landscape, human life in the city and communicate with like-minded people.

Urban sketching is one of the most sincere genres that allows you to establish deep interaction with the dynamics of the city, immerse yourself in the study and documentation of the urban environment. We go to paint the city in groups, in pairs, and even individually, and we all meet together on sketch dryers.

Svetlana Mikhalevich

It happened that Odessa sketchers made creative forays to other cities and countries, they were in Amsterdam, Berlin, Athens, Kyiv, Kamenets-Podolsk, Pyriatin, Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Ivano-Frankivsk, Dnieper. Local sketchers, made sketches in unexpected places, for example, at the Kharkov "Turboatom".

In Odessa it is interesting to draw the port, as well as disappearing monuments of architecture, for example, the former plant "Krayan": the sketch "Pink Dream". If there was such a building in Europe, an art center or a museum would be immediately opened in it.
