Symposium Participant: Robin Carlson


Hi everybody, I'm Robin Carlson. I live in Oakland, California, where I am a manager of fisheries and stream restoration data projects. I was thrilled to hear about the Symposium, and signed up immediately. Urban sketching combines two of my favorite activities: exploring cities on foot and drawing. I'm really looking forward to learning more about the craft.

Of all art forms, I love sketchbooks the most: spontaneous, immediate, un-fussy, and personal. I enjoy them as a direct expression of the way we interact with the world on a day-to-day basis.

I draw primarily in pen (fine line, brush, and ballpoint) and often add colored marker or watercolor.

Less than a month to go! I'm so excited to meet everyone.

    1. Sue Van Etten, You praised Robin Carlson so well that she deserves it, I think it would be less to be praised. Drawing sketches is a great and difficult task, like getting Infinite Color Panel Coupon Code and it has to be used.
