Mardi Gras & New Orleans

“Mardi Gras is the love of life. It is the harmonic convergence of our food, our music, our creativity, our eccentricity, our neighborhoods, and our joy of living." -- Chris Rose

All Virtual New York Urban Sketchers events are one session (10 am -12 pm EST) held on Saturdays. For participants wanting to challenge themselves sketching more of a particular locality or theme, you are welcome to do the EXTENSION SKETCH PROJECT below:

Mardi Gras & New Orleans Extension Sketch Project:
Choose of the following prompt to sketch:

• (a)  French Quarters
• (b)  New Orleans Bayou
• (c)  Mardi Gras-Decorated Home
• (d)  New Orleans Historic Building

*Please post your finished sketches to the USk NYC Facebook site. Be sure to add the hash tag #NUS. Please also note that while we are sponsored by USk NYC, our online event is grounded on reference images, which is a very different approach from doing the in-person, on-site urban sketch event promoted by the Urban Sketchers Manifesto.
