From Afternoons, 1:30 pm today
It displays sketches 35 and 36, drawn in pages of a notebook. Sketch 35 is a person wearing a hat sat on a box. Sketch 6 is a person facing away from the artist. They are wearing glasses, a backpack, and have quite knobbly knees.

Have you heard of Urban Sketchers? It's a worldwide organization of artists.

They roam the streets - notebook in hand - finding beauty in the seemingly mundane.

There are chapters across the north island - Auckland, Taupō, Taranaki, and Wellington - where, last week Andrew James took part in a global sketch challenge.

He attempted to draw 100 people on Cuba street, and tells Jesse all about it.
