Introduction

"Urban Sketching" is an international movement of people who draw on location -- indoors or out-- capturing what they see from direct observation. The drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel. Todd Cumpston is both a practitioner and a teacher.I couldn't wait to talk with him about this delightful curiosity practice. Such power in sitting still, paying close, appreciative attention to the world around us... Theme music is by Sean Balick. “Town Market” by Onesuch Village, via Blue Dot Sessions.
