Atenção ao Desenho Abril 2017

President’s Message to the USk Community 

by Amber Sausen

I want to take this opportunity, after the Board’s first Quarterly Meeting of 2017, to thank all the sketchers, regional chapters, volunteers, coordinators and Advisory Board members for the work and passion they bring to the organization. It’s that passion and enthusiasm that keeps USk exciting and makes the Board work harder to assure that our organization and community stays active and connected.

In the coming months we will share more about the short and long term plans to keep our community strong and vibrant. One initiative we’d like to share is that we’re improving the selection process for Symposium host cities and how sketchers register for this event. We’re responding to your suggestions and following the lead of regional chapters that are doing great work. You all have valuable ideas and provide wonderful examples of how to create community and educate sketchers all around the world and we want to build on that.

There’s a lot more that you will hear through the USk Blog, Facebook, Drawing Attention and our other social media platforms, so stay tuned for more. We will always welcome your thoughts and suggestions, so please feel free to contact your regional chapter administrator or any of us on the executive board directly.

We hope you continue to “Show us the world, one drawing at a time.”

Behind the Scenes with the Sponsorship Team

por
Ann Schwartzwald

There’s
a lot of excitement building about the 8th Urban Sketchers International Symposium
coming up July 26-29 in Chicago. It’s looking like it will be a “best ever”
experience. Let’s take a look behind the scenes to see who helps make an event
like this successful. One big job is lining up sponsors to donate both money
and products. Omar Jaramillo and Raylie Dunkel are our Symposium Sponsorship
Coordinators. Omar is covering the European sponsors and Raylie the North
American sponsors. Both attended an industry tradeshow this winter to pitch USk
and to line up sponsors.

Raylie
has been an Urban Sketcher for about 5 years. She shares, “When I retired I was
trying to figure out what to do with my life and knew I wanted to learn how to
draw: something I loved to do in high school and hadn’t done since I graduated.
So 50 years later I took some classes and somewhere along the way found Gaby’s
original Urban Sketchers book.” She then met Mark Leibowitz and the NYC chapter,
but wasn’t able to attend their weekend meetings, so at Mark’s urging she
organized a weekday group which now has about 25 regulars. Both groups are very
active, meeting weekly for approximately 100 meetings per year!

Then,
about 4 years ago, Raylie attended her first Symposium: “We were coming up on
our 50th wedding anniversary,” Raylie said. “My husband asked what I wanted:
fancy dinner, big party, glitzy bauble–whatever. I said I wanted to go to the
Symposium in Brazil….and so we did. Best anniversary present ever! It was
infectious and so I went back again and again. Then last year in Manchester
Joel Berman, the Fundraising Director, asked if I would like to help with
sponsorship development for this year’s event.”

“The Fundraising Committee
realized that there is an American counterpart to the tradeshow Omar attended
in Germany. I volunteered to go,” Raylie said.  Raylie attended the National Art Materials Trade Association
(NAMTA) tradeshow in Salt Lake City from March 4-6, 2017. “The show isn’t as
large as Paper World in Germany but quite large by any standard with several
hundred booths.

Raylie met with over 50
vendors with overwhelmingly positive results and USk has been invited to attend
next year’s event with an associate designation that will “allow us to have
contact with members, get newsletters and attend the private events at the
tradeshow.

“The face-to-face meetings
with the vendors were the best part of the experience,” Raylie said. “We now
have a platform that will allow us to build a long term relationship with these
companies so that we don’t have to start the process over each year.”

Raylie was also able to
meet with the American affiliates of European and Asian companies. This is
important because it means that now we won’t have to deal with so many
international trade barriers and logistical hurdles, making the whole process
much easier. Another exciting piece was contact with some media companies that
will give us coverage in their publications and a big publicity boost with
their membership. “I think the response next year is going to be even better
than whatever we have this year….which is wonderful already.”

Since 2012 Omar Jaramillo
has been instrumental in organizing the European sponsors. “I was living in
Sicily, Italy in 2009 when I found out about Urban Sketchers from the blog
‘Lines and Colors’ “. He has been an enthusiastic sketcher since then. Now living
in Berlin, Omar is active with USk Berlin and USk Germany.

The job Omar and the rest
of the committee has been charged with involves a lot of intensive work from
January until July. He recalls, “I was working at the fair sketching and
companies kept asking me about our group.” That led to his deeper involvement
meeting people and making connections that have helped solicit sponsorship from
these companies.

This year Omar attended
the Creative World /Paper World tradeshow in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Omar
describes it as “the biggest trade fair for stationary and art related
materials. It takes place every year at the end of January. It is huge!  A fair is important because you have the
opportunity to meet the heads of the companies and people who are
responsible for marketing strategies.” He has really enjoyed attending the
tradeshows because “I have the opportunity to meet very interesting people.”

Raylie sums it up well:
“This has been a terrific experience. Working with the committee across the
globe, meeting vendors, and getting to know the USk leadership has been an
extremely rewarding experience.  I
think we are going to have a fantastic response from the vendors and suppliers
which is going to enrich the Symposium experience for everyone.”

Omar and Raylie have put a
great deal of heart and soul and personal time and commitment into their work
on the Sponsorship team and, as a result, symposium participants will have the
opportunity to be exposed to new products. In addition, their work provides the
organization with critical financial support. Urban Sketchers is very grateful
for their skills and hard work, which is helping to give us a wonderful
Symposium this July!

Another Round for Arno Hartmann

por Jane Wingfield

Curved perspective is a topic few urban sketchers attempt to tackle. Arno Hartmann of Cologne, Germany wants to change that. Last year at the Manchester Symposium Hartmann led the workshop, Curved Perspectives – Sketching 360° degrees.

“In order to draw your surroundings in one 360° cylindrical panorama drawing, you need four or five vanishing points and some sinus curved guidelines”, says Hartman. 

He insists the set-up is quite easy. All you need is a more or less rectangular location and the correct wall size to start with.

His lessons always start with the same questions, Where is my eyeline? Where are my vanishing points? The next step is to draw some radical guidelines, centered in the vanishing points. That helps to see the space you want to depict. Hartmann strongly recommends small palm sized concept sketches to plan the size of the motif within the final drawing sheet. He also teaches students to measure the width of your scene in pencil lengths. In his drawings you can find pencil strokes at the bottom of the paper dividing it into 6 or 8 units – a guide which helps him get the proportions right.

http://arnohartmann.de/Liebfrauenkirche-Halberstadt/Liebfrauenkirche-Halberstadt.

Many sketchers struggle with the right perspective setup of their drawings and are unhappy with their sketches. Hartmann says his intention is to deliver the skills to organize drawings “correctly” in terms of perspective. Managing a challenging perspective setup, along with light and shadow, can be very satisfying. Teaching the skills to master these skills is, for Hartmann, one of the most satisfying aspects of Urban Sketching.

“Cars in the City” by Lapin

por Pedro Loureiro

Lapin is well-known for fish-eye perspectives, cars and sketching in old accounting books, but this is just the beginning of his truly unique style. He works as an illustrator in Barcelona for as many years as the Urban Sketchers have been around, and he was part of the original USk correspondent group.

Surprisingly, Lapin tells us that he doesn’t own a driving license “It’s just about the design, the aesthetics, about how the cars look like.” He especially appreciates cars from before the 80’s when they were designed by hand, not by computers, his favorite being the iconic Citroën 2CV. “It’s also a way to make one sketch a day at least, and in a short time” Lapin concludes.

Challenged by Florian Afflerbach (Flaf) to lead a car-themed workshop at the Symposium in Manchester, Lapin, passionate about sketching cars since as long as he remembers, gladly accepted. Unfortunately Flaf passed away in May 2016, before the Symposium was held, and wanting to pay tribute to our lost comrade in sketching, Gérard Michel stepped up to the challenge and accompanied Lapin to Manchester as a co-instructor in the workshop.

In the handout of his Symposium workshop “Cars in the City”, Lapin curiously mentions the word “portraits”, and that’s exactly what he practices and teaches: “I try to humanize the car, to give it personality. I teach how to sketch cars, but in the same way as I would teach how to sketch portraits or architecture”. Lapin tells students to go from the details to the general picture and not to worry much about the perspective at the beginning. Easier said than done, but his own words simplify this approach: “it’s just relating shapes and angles at first”.

His three sessions in Manchester were at full capacity, showing that he continues to inspire sketchers worldwide. The three challenges Lapin brought to Manchester were first, to quickly and roughly sketch a car from two or three meters away and again from a very close distance, just to understand the difference of distortion in perspective on each attempt; second, to compose a very accurate portrait of a car from a close distance in an hour, getting more acquainted with the fish-eye perspective that short distances create; and finally, to sketch a group of cars in front of a skyline, in order to create an urban story, because, as Lapin puts it “an urban sketch of a lively road wouldn’t look complete without the presence of cars.”

The first few quick sketches were very important as they allowed participants to warm up and to set them on the mind frame of sketching what they see rather than what they know. The remaining challenges were a matter of training perseverance, detail and visual storytelling.

To view some demo videos of Lapin sketching vintage automobiles, click AQUI. Or you may wish to watch as Lapin speaks about sketching in general and his art. Learn more about Lapin’s books of vintage cars listed on his website.

Yu Lan, the Hungry Ghost Festival

by Ben Luk

The most unusual urban sketching event ever organised by USk Hong Kong was the Hungry Ghost Festival in August 2015. In the Chinese calendar, it is said that the gates of hell open during the seventh month and wandering spirits from the netherworld are free to roam. More than a century ago, when Hong Kong was still a small trading port under British rule, coolies (labourers) from Mainland China were hired to move goods in and out of the go-downs (warehouses) dotted along the harbour front. When they passed away, it was said that many of them could not afford proper funerals. Haunted stories ensued. Offerings and rituals were performed to appease the spirits called the “Good Brothers” by the coolies. The Yu Lan Festival has become an annual tradition with elaborate offerings as well as opera performances for the living as well as the dead. It is now an important part of our cultural heritage which has obtained the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status in 2011.

Local historian and friend of USkHK, Sylvia Midgett, conducted an in-depth “Narrate and Sketch” guided walk of the 118th year of the Hungry Ghost Festival at Moreton Terrace by Kung Woo Tong, the city’s earliest organizer of the Yu Lan Festival. A multi-purpose ball court was turned into a kind of carnival equipped with a bamboo-covered stage, surrounded by elaborate effigies made of bamboo and paper. Sylvia gave us a peek backstage, where artists from afar set up camp, live, cook, apply make-up, mend their costumes and rehearse under a makeshift tin roof. Temporary seats were laid out in front of the stage but, Sylvia told us, do not sit in the front two rows–they are reserved for our friendly guests from the other world!

With that in mind, we spread ourselves out to try and take in everything and record it on our sketchbooks (and Rob Sketcherman’s iPad!). I was particularly impressed by the 6m tall paper effigy of the King of Hell, “大士王” whose role was to police the site and keep the party of hungry ghosts in order. Worshippers flocked to this part of the festival with their food offerings, joss sticks and candles. The smoke from burning joss sticks actually made the sketching rather challenging!

We have found that learning about the background to an event made a big difference in our perception and understanding of the event; and in the manifestation of the spirit in our sketches!

Sketcher Envy – We All Have It!

por Lauren Peterson

How would you respond to the question: Which urban sketcher gives you sketcher envy and why? This is the question that was posed to some urban sketchers, and they didn’t hold back in revealing their sketcher envy. Read on to see their picks!

“I suffer from a case of Sketcher Envy looking at the work of lots of Urban Sketchers, but I probably get the most “oh my gosh” moments from Shari Blaukopf’s work. One–she is insanely prolific, even turning out gorgeous work all through the winter sitting in her freezing car. Two–she has an incredible sense of composition. Three–her use of paint is very painterly, but also sketchy and loose. You can see the layers see gravity at work in the paint. Four–she can take the most mundane subjects and elevate them to the level of art…from simple bottles on her kitchen counter, to the corner store. And five–she is an awesome teacher. I am a HUGE fan.”–Stephanie Bower

“Paul Heaston gives me sketcher envy for he can turn any ordinary everyday scene into a meticulous detailed sketch all with one pen. Kousuke Takebayashi (AKA Studio-Takeuma) from Japan gives me sketcher envy in his ability to just use colored pencils and combines it with a small story which makes his sketches much more entertaining and delightful. Uhky Uhky from Singapore gives me sketcher envy for his ability to create clean water color brush strokes in producing delightful urban scenes.”–Mike Daikubara

“Envy is not a good feeling… I’d rather say I get sketcher excitement when I look at drawings I could never do, no matter how I try to imitate them. A good example are the sketches done by Inma Serrano: I can hear her laughing when I watch them, and they make me happy too. They remind me being too detailed, precise or delicate (as people name my works) can be so… boring!”–Simonetta Capecchi

“I get sketcher envy drawing next to architects because they get every line just so, whereas I erase and erase and still the perspective is not right. I am the most envious of Stephanie Bower because of her light touch in both pencil and watercolour. She creates scenes that you can walk right into and everything is where it is meant to be.”–Shari Blaukopf

“He’s prolific, and I know I’m looking at a Paul Heaston whenever my body and brain spot his signature style and go, “Woooooaaaahhh…!” even as I instinctively reach for something to hold onto. Sometimes I get vertigo (from a 2D image!!) and sometimes it’s sheer bafflement that someone can bend reality so deftly and…rivetingly. While watching Colbert or folding laundry or contemplating doing the dishes. Talk about Sketcher Envy!”–Rob Sketcherman

“I get sketcher envy when I look at the works of Simone Ridyard; I love to read her lines, exquisite intricacy, seem simple but loud. Her killer splashes are always like the surprise bonus, super inspiring.”–Alvin Wong

“I get sketcher envy when I look at the work of Ch'ng Kiah Kiean because his black ink mark-making is so consistently dynamic no matter what he is drawing. He gets such an awesome range of marks with just one tool and never needs to resort to actual colour to make his subjects feel colourful. He always makes his buildings look alive and it makes me want to visit his city!”—Robyn Bauer

“Shari Blaukopf gives me incredible sketcher envy with her deceptively simple line economy and palette. Whenever I try to do what she does I realize how skilled she really is. And she isn’t afraid to sketch in the snow!”–Paul Heaston

“I get sketcher envy when I look at the work of Melanie Reim. Her characters are so authentic that seems like I can easily imagine not only how the person she drew looks, but also how he moves, talk, what he likes and so on. Her black lines show everything – texture, movement, color, and even smell, sound and temperature.”–Marina Grechanik

“No question that would be Paul Heaston. How does he do those incredibly detailed accurate drawings? I used to believe he created an elaborate pencil drawing that he slowly perfected and then inked. Not true. I’ve watched him sketch – he’s just that good!”–Mark Leibowitz

When you can’t choose just one….

“I get sketcher envy every time I see one of Paul Heaston’s drawings, because he’s so skilled, and he’s so prolific. He makes me feel like I almost never draw, by comparison, because he’s posting something new – and magnificent – so frequently. I get sketcher envy when I see Shari Blaukopf’s work, because she makes watercolor seem so free and easy, and also so soft and inviting. I still feel like watercolor is a challenge every time I grab a brush, and perhaps Shari feels the same way – but you’d never know it looking at her stuff. I get sketcher envy when I see Gerard Michel’s page spreads – his ability to include drawings of various types and scales, along with his titles and notations, always creates such an interesting graphic story about the places he visits. I get sketcher envy when I see anything drawn by Lapin, but especially his portraits. Having sat for him more than once while he sketched me, I know firsthand the connection he makes with each of his subjects – and it’s amazing to me that he’s been able to get so close, so immediately, to so many people over the years.”–Matthew Brehm

“I get sketcher envy of two great sketchers: Inma Serrano and Marina Grechanik. They both are really productive and colorful. I love the way they create people and ambience with great line work.”–Víctor Swasky

So there you have it! Thanks to all these urban sketchers for sharing their sketcher envy with us.

Sketching inside a Volcano with USk Acores

Por Meagan Burns

One of the many cool things about being an Urban Sketcher is discovering where sketchers live and how they see their world. It’s one of our founding principles, to share our drawings online. Through our blogs, Facebook, Instagram, and Flickr, we get to see and experience other sketchers’ worlds through their drawings, wherever they may be. Our drawings may be of our ordinary, everyday life experiences: sketches of a congested street scene or the business of feeding livestock in the open countryside. By sharing your drawings, you are sharing your world.

While sketching inside a volcano might seem like a very extraordinary sketching event, Paulo Brilhante, one of the Administrators of USk Açores is quick to point out that it’s quite normal to draw from inside a volcano where he lives–the entire island is of volcanic origin. He’s in a volcano at all times!

Located near Ponta Delgada on the Island of Sao Miguel, Portugal, the Sete Cidades volcano (Seven Cities) still has some seismic activity and produces fumaroles but, Paulo explains, more than drawing inside a volcano, you are drawing surrounded by immense and fractured nature. These rock formations have been known to produce feelings that invade your senses and cause you to think about the journey of these rocks and how they came to be, and perhaps how you yourself came to be. You are at the mercy of a now sleepy volcano and surrounded by the beauty it has created. Imagine capturing these sights and feelings in your sketchbook!

Paulo works as an engineering technician on the nine islands of the Açores; his work always gives him a reason to carry a sketchbook, and he continues to draw his observations of nature and buildings. He has a blog, a weekly publication in a local newspaper, published a book of sketches called “Rabiscos da Minha Ilha” (Scribbles of My Island), and has also designed a line of sugar cube packages that carry his drawings.

Paulo admits drawing improves his sense of observation of the world around him and he enjoys the process of being challenged to think more deeply. To learn more about Paulo, please visit o seu blogue. You may also wish to check out the blog of USk Açores.
