I’ve lived in Sydney all my life and love it. But my appreciation for this wonderful city increased when I started sketching it!

All my sketches of Sydney can be found here but in this page I’m sharing links to my favourite spots to sketch and more!

Sydney City (Downtown)

I frequently visit Sydney City (the downtown to sketch) so here are links to my favourite parts of the City to sketch.

Sydney City General – The Rocks  – Sydney Harbour – Cockatoo Island – George St – Darling Harbour – Macquarie St – Martin Place

Individual Buildings or Places

There is no doubt that the building I have sketched the most is the Sydney Opera House – I love experimenting with it’s fun shapes. But there are many other buildings and places that I sketch frequently.

Luna Park – Hyde Park Barracks – Queen Victoria Building – St James Church  – St Marys Cathedral – Sydney Town Hall – Sydney Opera House – Sydney Harbour Bridge – Hyde Park – Royal Botanic Garden Sydney 

Sketching Locally

I have an everyday practice to go out most mornings get a coffee and do a sketch in my local area. So these links will take you to articles filled with sketches from the areas I’ve lived  or worked over the 10 years.

Local Houses – Local Cafe – Lindfield – Crows Nest – Ryde –  Mosman – Lane Cove National Park
