Recap of the Sketch The Junction Plein Air Sketching Competition

Hello art enthusiasts and community supporters!

On September 9th, we hosted our Sketch The Junction Plein Air Sketching Competition, a delightful celebration of creativity, community spirit, and artistic talent. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to everyone who contributed to making this event a resounding success, and a special thank you to @modellatura_art for joining us as a judge and providing valuable insights.

The energy and enthusiasm displayed by all participants were truly heartwarming. Whether you were sketching away, offering a helping hand, or simply immersing yourself in the artistic vibes, the love from our wonderful community was palpable, and we hope you felt it too ♥️!
