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 […]
I am neither trained as an architect nor as an artist, which I believe reflects in my urban sketches. I try to compose a view using a juxtaposition of various elements which characterise a particular location. The striking architectural facet of a building will always dominate but if it is complemented by the people, vehicles, […]
Я студентка архитектурного факультета, и я записываю и рассказываю о своей жизни и путешествиях с помощью своих зарисовок. Я начала делать наброски на месте в 2013 году и с тех пор полюбила это занятие. В каждом рисунке я наблюдаю, анализирую и записываю места, которые посещаю. Это позволяет мне глубже понять [...].
I live in Santiago de Chile. I am a founding member of Urban Sketchers Chile, a graphic designer and tour guide for German speaking tourists that visit Santiago, Valparaiso Port and the surrounding vineyard valleys. As a graphic designer I worked for many years in the graphic and advertising industry. But inside of me there […]
Меня зовут Фред. Сколько себя помню, я находил покой в рисовании. Несколько лет назад, когда я начал работать, я перестал рисовать регулярно, а потом и совсем. У меня было много оправданий: дети, обязанности, дела... но я просто действительно потерял что-то в себе. Я начал возвращаться только в 2012 году. Все это для того, чтобы [...].
Trained as an architect, I have an innate passion for the built environment. I started sketching as a form of observation and documenting the disappearing architecture of our past, in my hometown Kuching, on the island of Borneo. I keep a sketch journal to document daily things, travel stories and design ideas. Kuching, Old Town […]
I live in Luxembourg, one of the smallest countries of the world, lost between its big neighbours, France, Belgium and Germany. In our corner of Europe it is easy to be overlooked and even people driving through might miss the fact that they have been here. It is, however, a beautiful country rich in history […]
"В 1980-х годах я получил степень бакалавра в области студийного искусства в Университете штата Аризона. Переехав в Сан-Франциско, я изучал иллюстрацию в Академии искусств под руководством Барбары Брэдли, Баррона Стори и Говарда Броуди. В Академии требовались этюдники, и именно там я начал делать зарисовки на пленэре. Зарисовки на публике [...].
“The dictionary says that a hobby is “an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation.” Although urban sketching certainly provides both pleasure and relaxation, I don’t think of it as my hobby. I think of it more as a way of life – something that has become such a normal part of my everydayness […]
At kindergarten I appeared to be no good for much except drawing. I studied graphic arts at Sint-Lucas in Ghent, and later taught in the art school in Nyundo, Rwanda. I publish graphic novels and short stories, and work for magazines, such as Zone 5300 (NL), Mo* (B) and XXI (F). I am currently working […]
As an architect I do a lot of drafting, that is floor plans, elevations, sections and construction details. It does include perspectives, and lots of rough sketches, investigations to find the right solution. It’s time consuming work and it is all about producing a correct accurate set of plans to construct a building. Once the […]
I am a scenographer (stage and set designer) and fine artist living and working in Paris, France. For more than ten years now, I have also been painting and drawing outdoors. In Paris or when traveling, I spend my time painting… I work almost exclusively with watercolors: my favorite tools are a big brush, a […]
