Mexico City Sketchers is a weekly sketch meet up for anyone who wants to draw the city and its colorful ambiance. We meet every Wednesday from 4–6pm, based in Condesa, with a different location each week. Bring your own materials, grab a drink or a snack, and sketch at your own pace. There’s no instruction and no formal program, just the practice of looking closely and drawing what’s in front of you.
