JAVA MEETS SKETCHERS. The Urban Sketchers Chippewa Valley group regularly meets at planned locations around the Valley to sketch whatever scenes catch their artist eye.

The Urban Sketchers see the world one sketch at a time. The Chippewa Valley's chapter of the global art movement and community captures people, places, and moments in time at local locations, including area coffee shops. Volume One asked members of the group if they would share some of their java culture sketches with us, and the talented locals kindly obliged. Special thanks to Dave Spencer, Julie Majkowski, and Chiemi Freund for sharing your artwork with us, to share with our readers! A 'thank you' is due to Freund for compiling these sketches.


Interested in getting your sketch on?! Join the Urban Sketchers Chippewa Valley Facebook page to keep up with the group.
