By Melanie Reim in Singapore Call it jet lag, the end of summer, the start of school, whatever, I never did get around to scanning and posting anything from the amazing adventure in Singapore and beyond. This past week, I was asked to present my summer travels and the Symposium presentation to the Board of Trustees at […]
On my trip from Buenos Aires-Singapure I had the “fortune” to enjoy a beautiful night concert. Ever it happened to you ???? On the other hand, when you have 36 hours of flight you can try different things, for example 180 degrees. I like to try, and you? Im Thong Hood Cho Temple in Singapure. […]
by Marina Grechanik in Singapore I owe to myself one last post about Singapore USk Symposium. Unfortunately, I din’t have a time to take many workshops, because all my mornings I was busy by teaching. The only one that I managed to take, was Simo Capecchi’s “A Collective Reportage” workshop. I’m interested a lot in reportage and […]
Thought I’d post a few drawings I made on Waterloo Street in Singapore, where I had the privilege of teaching a workshop called the Urban Sketchers Cookbook at the 6th Annual USK Symposium. Waterloo street is located somewhere between Little India and the Malay sections of the city. While in Singapore I was constantly impressed […]
by Shiho Nakaza in Singapore I really enjoyed attending the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Singapore – the energy of people gathering to draw on location is contagious! I appreciate the hospitality shown by local sketchers, and it was fun to meet new sketching friends in addition to meeting familiar sketching friends I met over the […]
by Marina Grechanik in Singapore I’m continuing my first post about the amazing experience of Singapore USk Symposium. Teaching our workshop “Face the City!” together with my friend from Denmark Ea Ejersbo was, of course, the main reason for coming there. Ea spent the last winter in Israel, near me, and then born our idea of leading a workshop together […]
By Gail Wong visiting in Singapore Back street in the Arab District One of the ways to beat the heat in Singapore was getting up early in the morning to sketch, as you have heard from many other sketchers already. The first morning after I arrived, I sketched with Shari Blaukoph on Waterloo St. That […]
Singapore Botanic Gardens Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque) I participated in 6th urban sketchers symposium this year. It was a wonderful event as I expected. Meeting some new and old sketcher friends and sharing thoughts and works. In the next post I will show you some sketches that I have done during the symposium, […]
By Gail Wong visiting in Singapore Marina Bay Sands and Art Science Museum, Singapore We have been back just over two weeks from our South East Asia trip to Singapore, Cambodia and Bangkok. What a wonderful experience and each place so different. We battled stifling humidity and heat to sketch outdoors, met people from all […]
by Shari Blaukopf in Singapore I’ve been back from Southeast Asia for about a week, but like each Urban Sketchers Symposium I attend, it always takes a bit of time for everything to sink in. I am still pinching myself that I was there and it was an honour to be an instructor in such […]
I’ve been home for several weeks now, but still remembering daily what a wonderful experience it was to visit Singapore, and looking forward to returning someday! Marina said it so well below, so wonderful to see old friends again and meeting so many new friends made the whole Symposium experience truly unforgettable. I was very […]
by Suhita Shirodkar More from Singapore. This time, it’s all Waterloo Street. When you teach a workshop on Waterloo Street 3 days in a row, and you demo at every one of the workshops, and draw between workshops on the same street, you end up with a LOT of sketches, all from one location. That’s […]
