Whether you are a beginner or have been drawing for years, you are invited to paint outdoors, as part of the Big Draw 2012.

Artists of Eastbank will lead two sketching sessions -- one focusing on an urban location and one focusing on a natural landscape.

The event will be held at the Bridgeport Art Center, 1200 W. 35th St., on Oct. 14th from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

You are asked to bring your own materials.
