International Festival of Travel Sketchbooks

Edmonds, Washington (USA)

James Richards

Siesta Key, Fla.
James Richards was an urban designer, professor and workshop instructor before these real jobs morphed into traveling to 50-odd countries, drawing in sketchbooks and becoming someone different in the process. He’s a founder of Urban Sketchers Texas, the author of “Travel Artist” and “Freehand Drawing and Discovery,” and a pretty good video instructor. His work shows up in over 30 instructional drawing books, exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad, and was seen on NBC Nightly News. His homes are Siesta Key, Florida;, Winona, Minnesota and the road.
