Bengaluru is a city in constant motion, but there’s a special kind of magic that happens when we slow down to truly see it.

We are excited to introduce DRAWN OUT- an outdoor sketch collective by the ISOLA Bangalore Chapter.
Whether you’re a seasoned artist or someone who hasn't picked up a pencil since school, this is your invitation to explore the under-explored corners of our city through the "slow medium" of sketching.

Our goal? To build a living archive of Bengaluru’s evolving landscapes, one sketch at a time.

⚫ Open to everyone!
⚫ Any drawing medium!
⚫Some sessions will feature guided walks led by resource experts!

Let’s rediscover the beauty in the details!
📍 Stay tuned for our first location announcement.
