Have any of you got any inspirational ideas for in situ venues ?   <div>I have got a branch of URBAN SKETCHERS ( google for more info) on the go .  </div><div>The idea is to go and look, see and sketch  .  So far a nucleus of about ten have met at such places as a local Cathederal , an R S PB site a castle and an art gallery.  Always we have been welcomed with warmth and courtesy .  In fact the R S P B. In Conwy actually gave us a whole room with amazing views , all to ourselves. <div>Criteria is ,stuff to sketch , a loo and a bit of shelter .  A cafe is a bonus.  </div><div>Also its nice to maybe have somewhere to put your bum without being precariously perched.  </div><div>Garden centres are on our list and shopping areas.  But I would love a bit of inspire please... Yes, yes I know Mel we can take pics and go home and be comfy.  But we like the company we like the immediacy of looking and recording. U S is now world wide and I so enjoy looking at sketches from the Far East, the States and from all over the U k . A little bit of magic from pencil and paper......ideas please. </div></div>
The Southampton group recently met at the National Oceanograpic Ctr in the docks. Any institutions like that may be useful.
Some restaurant can also be looked at!
I think the Soton (Southampton) group is meeting in a high street coffee house soon, not Costa.
