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 (in reverse date order) 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 in Sydney where I’ve lived or worked over the past 10 years.

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