伦敦春天的五个广场

[By James Hobbs in London] Think of a square in London, and it will probably be Trafalgar Square or Leicester Square, perhaps Parliament or Sloane. Among the paved piazzas are hundreds of garden squares, providing greenery and tranquility in the centre of the city. With the arrival of spring, they are probably at their best. […]

恶魔岛的隐藏花园

[By San Francisco Bay Area Sketchers in San Francisco] On April 7, 2018, San Francisco Sketchers were invited to go to the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary for a private tour of the hidden gardens created by the inmates. It was a prison for the worst criminals, and was closed in 1963. Escape was supposedly impossible since the […]

徜徉在巴勒莫的异国花园里

[Guest post by Maria Francesca Starrabba in Palermo, Italy]  [Translated from Italian by Béliza Mendes]  My passion for gardens leads me to choose pleasant locations rich with vegetation during my outings of plein air drawing. At the Palermo Botanical Garden (see sketch above), I recently sketched under the shade of a giant fig tree (Ficus […]

In the first days of November, even with the waning light, tuberous begonias were at their peak in outside window boxes; my kitchen garden was still supplying peppers […]

Drawing in an Urban Garden

I have a special fondness for gardens, parks and green spaces where people come to unwind and enjoy a little nature in the middle of a city…here are sketches made at a favorite of mine, Descanso Gardens, in La Canada, California, in the hills above Los Angeles…

北卡罗来纳州罗利市的杂志《Walter》中提到城市素描家。

为了给一本城市杂志绘制罗利的J C Raulston Arboretum的插图，我使用了不同的素描工具和风格，试图让人感受到这个地方的视觉多样性。这篇文章出现在2013年6月/7月的《沃尔特》杂志上......当然是以沃尔特-罗利爵士的名字命名的!

湖区的 "罐头节 "周末

This weekend, John and I made a flying visit to the Lake District. We leapt in the car on Friday night straight after work:  We have some old friends who live right on the northern border of the national park, very close to the coast, and they invited us to visit and go to Potfest with them […]

More Spanish drawing, across New York City, as the term moves to a close.

At this point I can’t get on the subway without trying to think in Spanish, or at least read. And since I do so much drawing in the subway as well I’m beginning to associate the two. And I suppose I’m beginning to draw in Spanish. Inevitable. My husband have both been studying Spanish for […]
