Starting the big Moran and Cato building in Brunsw Starting the big Moran and Cato building in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. There were so many angles on the corner section and I got totally lost at times! Lots more of this building to go. We went up to the rooftop for lunch afterwards. #helendrawsbrunswickstreet #brunswickstreet #brunswickstreetfitzroy #melbourneurbansketchers #urbansketchers #usk #streetsketch #bockingford #melbourneartist #cityofyarra #melbourneheritage
St Vincent's Private Hospital is being extended in St Vincent's Private Hospital is being extended into Brunswick Street, Fitzroy and I thought it was important to record this time in history. I may or may not have shrunk the construction site a little to fit in St Patrick's Cathedral on the left, and the old fire station tower peeking over retained walls in  the centre. Ghost signs have been revealed on the side of what was once the Belvidere Hotel. They are incomplete so Alf and I had a long discussion about whether they were advertising Fosters Lager and Victoria Bitter. Do you know?  For those I know will ask, I drew and painted it over two sessions :) #helendrawsbrunswickstreet #brunswickstreetfitzroy #streetscape #sketch #melbournesketchartist #melbourneurbansketchers #urbansketchers #usk #bockingford #belviderehotel
Another section of Brunswick Street, Fitzroy drawn Another section of Brunswick Street, Fitzroy drawn in ink and waiting for watercolour. I draw on pieces of Bockingford cold press watercolour paper that I cut and fold. I then clip it to cardboard while I'm drawing so that it stays manageable. This section includes  @vlogsofhyderabad @headingouthair @fitzroy_frame_makers @b.o.y.d_studio and Bell Street Coffee Window. #helendrawsbrunswickstreet #melbourneurbansketchers #urbansketchers #usk #streetpanorama #streetsketch #brunswickstreetfitzroy
Napier Hotel, Fitzroy a couple of weeks ago. I was Napier Hotel, Fitzroy a couple of weeks ago. I was sitting on the steps of the Fitzroy Town Hall for the most interesting angle and got a tad too sunkissed. #melbourneurbansketchers #urbansketchers #usk #fitzroysketch #sketch #napierhotel @napier_hotel
The Brunswick Street Bookshop and Rice Paper Sciss The Brunswick Street Bookshop and Rice Paper Scissors in, you guessed it, Brunswick Street, Fitzroy last week, drawn in between vans parking in front of me. My long term project to draw this street continues and watercolour will eventually follow. So many beautiful buildings and increasing vandalism from taggers which is so sad. @ricepaperscissors_  #brunswickstreetbookstore @brunswickstreetbookstore #helendrawsbrunswickstreet #melbourneurbansketchers #urbansketchers #sketch #streetsketch #melbourneartist #streetscape #brunswickstreetfitzroy
Flinders Walk looking towards Flinders Street Stat Flinders Walk looking towards Flinders Street Station, Melbourne today with #melbourneurbansketchers - it was great to catch up with my fellow sketchers, newbies and overseas visitors. Hopefully we will have more visitors as we near the Auckland Urban Sketchers Symposium!  #helendrawsmelbourne #urbansketchers #urbansketchersaustralia #sketchbook  #melbourne #sketch #melbourneartist
The Godfrey buildings in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy The Godfrey buildings in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, sketched over two sessions a month or so apart. My daughter @bethshipperlee.design came along and got a tad sunburnt while waiting patiently for me, as I kept dropping all my watercolour pans over the ground. Oops on multiple fronts there. #melbourneurbansketchers #usk #urbansketchers #urbansketchersaustralia #streetsketch #melbourneartist #sketch #brunswickstreetfitzroy @huntergatherer_stores @elektrafitzroy #fitzroy
Back in Collins Street, Melbourne, yesterday to ad Back in Collins Street, Melbourne, yesterday to add watercolour to a sketch I did a week or so ago. I’m trying different sketchbook formats to decide on my favourite. I like how much I can fit in this A4 landscape but unsure whether it is too wide to manage. I dropped my little palette off my stablo easel a couple of times and had to replace the magnetised pans. I think I need to go back to more of a traditional palette for the next big trip we are planning but then working out my traveling art kit has always been half the fun of a trip! #melbourneurbansketchers #helendrawsmelbourne #urbansketchers #usk #urbansketching #sketchbook #globalsketch #sketchartist #melbourneartist

THANK YOU! The prints I ordered are one of my favorite art purchases ever! They mailed to the US with no problems, looked amazing when I got them. They were carefully wrapped and shipped. They are wonderful quality. I even got a bonus print which was an awesome surprise! I am looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
