巴西帕拉蒂的反思
by Simo Capecchi My first pages in Paraty has been the most detailed ones, before the Urban Sketchers Symposium started last August and everybody arrived so that I was too busy meeting new and old friends. On the third day I went to paint reflections on the river at Joao Catarino workshop, almost an hypnotic experience – good to […]
我在帕拉蒂的写生作品!
I am very late for my post on Paraty here but I still want to do it and take this opportunity to thank the symposium committee and local organisers for the unique and wonderful experience. Paraty is such a beautiful small colonial city paved with cobblestones. These are bigger format ink and watercolour work at […]
一次冒险结束，另一次冒险开始......
遗憾的是，令人振奋的第五届乌斯克研讨会最终不得不结束了（叹气）。这么多的告别!星期天，当我独自坐在那里画这幅画时，我感到相当忧郁。但是，我不需要担心：这只是行动中的一个停顿。 第二天早上，我收拾好装备，离开了帕拉蒂（虽然[...] 。
害怕颜色？（或者应该是 "害怕水"？）
I’d like to tell you a bit about the Afraid of Colour? sketching workshops I ran for the Symposium, especially for those who weren’t in Paraty, as we had rather more drama than anticipated… Even before I left the UK, the weather forecasters were saying that my first and main teaching day was going to be dreadful weather.

在帕拉蒂的一天。为专题讨论会做准备
Before the symposium, I had a full day to get my bearings in Paraty, so I decided to use one of the concertina sketchbooks I made recently to record my day and what I could see as I walked around. I started with the Santa Rita (nicknamed ‘Liz’s Church’, after Liz Steel of course, because it was her […]
我第一次访问地球的另一端。巴西
I participated in the 5th Urban Sketching Symposium in Paraty, Brazil. Without this event, I wouldn’t have visited this county as first South American nation to visit, especially concerning the distance and the language matter… But I’m so glad I did! Brazilians are friendly, kind, down to earth and a bit shay people (as far […]
Back home and missing my sketch-buddies, after the best symposium ever!
There is no way I can put into words the amount of fun, fellowship and inspiration that was packed into the 10 days I was in Brazil. The atmosphere at Urban Sketchers symposiums is always electric with excitement and creativity, but this year was definitely something extra special. Maybe it was that the Brazilians were […]
圣保罗
On my way to the wonderful UsK Symposium in Paraty i stopped in São Paulo. The largest metropolis of the southern hemisphere is just overwhelming. One and a half day spent between crumbling skyscrapers, colonial churches and fancy museums. I´m back from Paraty now, and i am already speculating where the Symposium might be next […]
