Let’s Sketch Wellington - Sequeira Luz family

We had a great time in Wellington and were spoiled for choice of nice scenes to draw.
We met a good group of interesting people and got to go trough their sketchbooks when catching up in cool cafes. Our Sunday morning meeting point was in Aro valley, we had never been there before and loved it, the best thing was it was just a short walk from the farmers market so we went there for chestnuts and a quick sketch. Thanks Dave, Andrew and all the Wellington Sketchers for the warm welcome!

Aro Street

Two of my sketches from last Saturday's sketchcrawl in Aro Street, Wellington.  It was great to meet new people who like to draw.  We started at Garage Project Brewery and finished at Aro Cafe for coffee and to warm up, it was a sunny day but cold.  Thanks for coming.

Beer brewing in large stainless steel tanks a Garage Project Brewery.  The brewery is located in what was a disused petrol station.  There is a cellar door shop attached were you can sample and buy beer to take away.  Garage Project have recently open their Taproom, a very nice little bar located about 100 metres up the road.  I particularly like their Garagista IPA.

The iconic Aro Video Store.  It almost closed down in February due to dwindling business but the locals rallied together in support and have saved it for now.  According to an article I read on stuff.co.nz it is "widely regarded as one of the best video shops in New Zealand" and has a collection of 22,000 titles.
