<div></div>
<div>These three tiny 5×3 watercolor‑and‑ink sketches are based on places I visited in Downeast Maine in Fall 2025.</div>
<div>
<p>I wanted to capture the shifting weather and quiet terrain that I love about this region: the calm, cool waters of Sipp Bay Preserve, the bright simplicity of a Lubec coastal lighthouse, and the dramatic cliffs at Hamilton Cove.</p>
<p>This was my first time working with landscapes in an ink‑and‑wash style. I’ve always found landscapes intimidating because they seem so complex, but I wanted to finally begin exploring them in a small, approachable format.</p>

<div>Each piece became a small moment of remembering the light, the tide, and the feeling of being there.</div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>In March 2026, I ventured out to sketch a few winter landscapes on location. These quick sketches were made from my car at the Calais Waterfront (along the St. Croix River at the Canadian border) and from the parking lot of Washington County Community College.</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>I worked with a mini travel watercolor set and a Copic Multiliner.</div>

									<h2>Visual historians: the power of reportage sketching</h2><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Sketching has a unique way of slowing us down, allowing for a deeper observation and a personal interpretation of the world unfolding around us. It&#8217;s a powerful tool for storytelling, connecting us to the stories and events of our surroundings. That&#8217;s why, in 2021, we introduced the <a href="https://urbansketchers.org/usk-reportage-grant-info/"><strong>USK Reportage Grant</strong></a>, aimed at highlighting the storytelling potential of sketching, a founding principle of the USk mission.</span></p><p>In recent years the <a href="https://urbansketchers.org/usk-reportage-grant-info/"><strong>Urban Sketchers Reportage grant</strong></a> has supported sketch artists, of all levels of experience, to tell unique stories from all around the world. Seeing them come together is an inspiration and a privilege.</p><p>Each of these reportage projects demonstrates a  personal interest, cultural exploration and experience, and a narrative element that draws viewers into the heart of the story. Whether through emotional connections, valuable lessons, or unique artistic choices, each reportage project offers a unique perspective on the world around us.</p><p>Some of these projects serve as powerful vehicles for social commentary, shedding light on pressing issues such as environmental degradation, urban development, and social inequality. Others tell a more personal story of growth through their environment. Through their art, the artists offer a unique perspective on these issues, inviting us to reflect on the world around us and our role in it.</p><p>These diverse stories come together to showcase the beauty and complexity of our global community.</p><p><strong>If you are an urban sketcher,  we invite and encourage you to pick up your sketchbook and embark on your own visual storytelling journey.  If you would like to apply for a USK Reportage Grant in 2026 &#8211; don&#8217;t hesitate!</strong></p><p>Closing date for submissions: <strong><em>30 April 2026 noon UTC</em></strong>.</p>								</div>

									<p>Andrew is a sketchbook artist and Urban Sketcher from Wellington, New Zealand. He learned to draw as an adult and didn’t expect to become obsessed with recording his life in pictures in little books. After more than a decade the sketchbooks are starting to pile up. He is a founding member of his local chapter, Urban Sketchers Wellington and was a workshop instructor at USk Symposium in Poznan 2025. He always draws as much as possible, especially with his young sons—kids are the most fearless and fun artists.</p><p><strong>Find more about him here:</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ajamesdraws" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/ajamesdraws</a><br />Website: <a href="https://andrewjamesdraws.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">andrewjamesdraws.com</a> / <a href="https://ajamesdraws.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ajamesdraws.substack.com</a></p>								</div>
