Since December I have spent about 5 weeks in Seoul, Korea. I always stay at the Grand Hyatt. Love that joint. There is a grand lobby with a beautiful bar overlooking the entire city of Seoul. It sits in front of 30 foot windows. Very impressive. I’m not much of a fancy boy but I […]

Here are three more sketches continuing the theme of drawing in my own back yard, so to speak. I recently mentioned how I only seem to draw on my travels and since I travel so rarely these days, my drawing was bound to suffer. I’ll be posting plenty more Crown Heights and Brooklyn drawings as […]
I managed to do very little urban sketching during my recent trip to France, it was more of a rural sketching holiday: hiking a part of the way of St. James. After a week spent in the remote countryside, even smalltown Castres seemed big, loud and très urban. If you´re interested, you can find […]
A couple of weeks ago, along with the recently launched Urban Sketchers London and the regular Meetup group ‘Drawing London on Location‘, I organized a sketchcrawl around the Temple and Fleet Street areas of London. I am a guest correspondent on USk London, and was back visiting for a couple of weeks, so I […]
Last month I had the good fortune to meet and sketch with the HongKong sketchers. They are a just fantastic and eager bunch of sketchers. Led by Alvin Wong, Ben Luk, Rob and Gary Yeung, the group grew very quickly and even held their very first group exhibition. I was also invited to join […]
[Guest post by André Wee in New York City] Scribbling and dotting into a sketchbook, while trying not to make a scene, has become an almost daily activity for me while commuting between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Over the past 2 months, I have started turning my train ride into my own ‘private’ drawing playground. […]
We’re recently back from the USK Chicago Symposium, followed by somewhat of a prolonged after party, which we’ll be talking about in due time. As usual I’m looking over the sketch…
[Guest Post by Delphine Doreau in Los Angeles] For a long time I was very comfortable with gray. Blue, and especially blue skies, was a luxury in Paris or San Francisco where I lived, something joyful to experience with delight…and rarely sketch. Blue was out of my comfort zone as a sketcher. And then, I […]
Part 2 – Jan 14 – Getting on their feet: After the first few sessions of reading, the actors are up on their feet, doing blocking. The internet says the term comes from a practice of ‘using small wooden blocks to represent actors, moving these about on a miniature of a set of a planned […]
Drawing and painting in cities, towns and villages comes with its own set of difficulties. Here are some mistakes I made over the years, so you can avoid them.

by Shari Blaukopf in Toronto, Canada This past weekend, on my way to Chicago, I got stuck in Toronto because of a cancelled flight. The earliest flight I could get on was in six hours. Luckily I was at the Toronto Island airport so downtown was only a short hop away. My Chicago plan was […]
About The Artwork The Oslo Opera House takes center stage. The artwork was painted en plein-air - on location in Oslo. The mood is contemplative, with a touch of mystery. The artist's brushstrokes dance across the paper, creating a semi-abstract representation of the iconic building. The colors are rich yet subdued, capturing the essence of the scene in a dreamlike manner. Shadows and highlights interplay, adding depth and intrigue to the composition. It is a captivating blend of reality and artistic interpretation, capturing the moody essence of this architectural gem in a truly unique way.
