Traversée transtasmanienne en solitaire pour l'asthme
[By Murray Dewhurst in Auckland] Congratulations Scott Donaldson, the mad kiwi who yesterday completed the first ever solo kayak crossing of the Tasman Sea, from Coffs Harbour in New South Wales, Australia, to Ngāmotu Beach, New Plymouth, New Zealand. The crossing is a ridiculous sounding 2200 kilometer paddle which apparently featured huge swells, an aggressive […]
Vecteurs et Mars Violet à la caisse de 6 heures.
[Mars et avril (le début de l'automne) sont une période idéale pour faire des croquis dans les régions méridionales de l'Australie : le temps est doux et serein, et la menace des 40 degrés est derrière nous (bonjour l'Amérique, c'est 104 degrés F). Et quoi de mieux pour commencer que de s'inspirer de l'excellent stock de [...].
Évoquer des souvenirs le long de la côte de Victoria
[Guest post by Angela Williams in Melbourne, Australia] Returning home always provides the opportunity to revisit places of precious childhood memories. For me, many of these memories are of weekend or holiday walks and picnics, usually along the coast. My Christmas summer holiday break is always spent with my independent 97-year-old dad and my extended family […]
Une journée parfaite pour les croquis à Watson Bay
[Article invité par Rooi Ping Lim à Sydney, Australie] L'USK Sydney a donné le coup d'envoi de la nouvelle année 2018 par une glorieuse journée d'été à Watson Bay, une plage emblématique de la banlieue est de Sydney. Watson Bay a de belles plages, de délicieux fruits de mer, des vues à émerveiller n'importe qui et une abondance de spots " à croquer " pour les croqueurs fous de croquis ! Un grand groupe [...]
Instantanés d'un été australien
[Guest post by Barbara Gao in Australia] Over the Christmas break I went on a much anticipated trip to Australia. It was my first time setting foot in the Southern Hemisphere! After getting off a 14-hour red-eye flight, I arrived in Sydney at 9am. Although extremely jet-lagged and slightly delirious, I still set off immediately […]
Le cintre - Pont du port de Sydney
[By Chris Haldane in Sydney] As this is my first post as a correspondent, I thought I’d like to share something from my city that is loved by tourists and locals alike, so I’ve gone back through my sketchbooks to find the Sydney Harbour Bridge (affectionately called The Coat Hanger by locals) from various viewpoints. […]
Meet the correspondent: Chris Haldane > Sydney, Australia
Drawing has always fascinated me. If my family couldn’t find me when I was a little girl, all they had to do was go to the bookshelf, and there I’d be, drawing in their books! Following a career in teaching, I’ve recently completed tertiary studies in art and am reveling in the time I now […]
MARCHÉS DU DIMANCHE
[by Teo Cheng Huat ,Beijing, China] The Rozelle Collectors Market is Sydney’s favourite outdoor second hand, bric-a-brac and antique market. Good place to spend on weekend, food and entertain by local performance. Stallholders have been selling their pre-loved wares to an ever expanding audience in the grounds of the Rozelle Public School for over 20 […]
Looking Up (and Down) in Sydney’s Queen Victoria Building
[Stephanie Bower, Seattle, in Sydney] I do like a good sketching challenge! A rainy Sunday morning, this was sketched while eating breakfast in the Queen Victoria Building in central Sydney and painted later that morning in the same spot. I liked the linework quite a bit, as I do love capturing complicated perspective views, so […]
