I did a demo for the Urban Sketchers quarterly magazine Drawing Attention!
It was an excuse to spend an afternoon sketching at Findlay Market. We met the woman installing the Pompeii exhibit at the Museum Center.

Here is an article about My Sketching Obsession show.
It mostly covers my sketches done at my Artist Residency at Chateau d'Orquevaux. I also have included some other travel sketchbooks as well.

I had been invited to show my work before the residency so I created work I could frame. Usually, it is hard to do a show about sketching because all the work is in sketchbooks and they need to be printed for the most part so you do not have to cut them out of the book.
I worked in four sketchbooks during the residency in addition to painting almost 20 images on watercolor paper I purchased in France.
In addition to the reception in February, we are planning another evening to share the show and meet the artist.
I went to Auckland, New Zealand in April for the Urban Sketchers Symposium. I will do a longer post soon after my deadline crunch but it was an amazing experience!

The Cincinnati Art Club is having an Urban Sketching Workshop for Junior and Senior High School students. The workshop is in conjunction with a four-day event featuring Cincinnati Master artists from the past and present. Urban Sketching can ignite a love for the place where you live and begin a practice that could put you on the road to mastery.
The workshop will be led by Christina Wald, a professional children’s book illustrator, who also teaches Illustration at the college level and is a leading member of the Urban Sketchers of Cincinnati. She will facilitate a 10:00-3:00 workshop on April 30th at the Cincinnati Art Club https://cincinnatiartclub.org/
If you are interested or would like more information, email Christine Kuhr at ckuhr1522@yahoo.com Sponsored by Cincinnati Art Club members and the Ohio Arts Council.
