One of the great parts of belonging to the Urban Sketchers group, apart from amazing people and great drawing opportunities, is getting to go to places in Auckland that are new. Nuffield Street is in Newmarket, Auckland. While it's a street running parallel to the main road, Broadway, it is certainly a street I'd never visited before. Thank goodness our event organisers keep their eyes out for treasures like this.

Nuffield Street feels very different from the rest of Newmarket. The sunshine and dappled light might've had something to do with that feeling. I settled down outside the
Tasca Cafe and Bar to draw the stores across the road.
What was neat was that there were other urban sketchers across the road drawing the cafe I was sitting at as I was drawing them sitting outside the stores I was drawing. Sketchers sit nice and still so make them easier to draw than busy shoppers.

I loved looking up to see other sketchers looking back...

We gathered inside the Tasca Cafe to share our work and catch up. A really lovely day on Nuffield Street in Newmarket.
