#tourdesketch Windsor

<p>Owen Swain is a Windsor Ontario illustrator and painter who works in a variety of media and styles and is interested in all manner of subjects while specializing in on location observational drawing sketching mentoring and portraiture. He is never without a sketchbook.</p><p>Owen’s creative impetus is daily observational drawing that moves beyond looking to seeing from thinking to being and from mere drawing to discovering and developing one’s own mark. Owen believes that the Zen of what Frederick Franck coined as ‘seeing/drawing’ has transferable life skills for all.</p><p>He is the creator of #tourdesketch an art-for-all monthly event that includes in-season slow-bicycling Sketchouts with a focus on local culture and heritage and during autumn and winter months sketch meet-ups with instruction on ‘seeing/drawing’ as meditation as well as good fun drawing tips and sketchbook skills for the artist within each of us.</p><p>#tourdesketch Windsor is a collection of Owen's sketches from sights around his hometown of Windsor Ontario Canada. It is part colouring book part insight into life in the city he has chosen to call home.</p><p>For more information please visit: www.owenswain.com</p>
