Event Description

If you enjoy drawing, this is an event you should not miss. You don't need artistic skill, just boundless curiosity and a love for drawing.     Bring along your sketch-book and join us as we draw a slice of Bengaluru history at the beautiful environs of Panchavati. This lovely, old world bungalow where India's first Nobel prize-winning scientist, Sir C.V Raman lived is cocooned by greenery, and is a perfect subject for your sketchbook. Come draw with a group of other enthusiasts, who share your love for drawing.    

We will begin our session with a brief introduction by the BlrHubba team on the historical relevance of the space. Following this, there will be a brief introduction to the concept of on-location sketching and sketch journaling by the founders of Penciljam.   

We will then disperse to find interesting views and locations to draw Panchavati, or the beautiful trees that dot the space. Drawing activity will continue for an two hours, after which we will regroup to discuss our drawings, for Q&A about each others sketches and for group photographs.   

About Penciljam   

Our beloved Bengaluru is known as a garden city, and while it is true that it is home to beautiful parks and gardens, it also abounds with spaces that speak of history and culture.   

Penciljam was founded 15 years ago to explore these many facets of Bengaluru through drawing in groups. Over these years, members of our community have captured our city's history and culture, it's people and their preoccupations through lively and highly personal drawings and paintings.   

Penciljam is a project of Nabachika Foundation for the Citizen Arts, which promotes art as a way to focus attention on our city through the act of drawing. Nabachika Foundation promotes the idea that we can go beyond being simply consumers to being active creators, and that everyone with an interest in creating can participate in our Citizen Arts initiatives. No artistic skills or background required.
