Chilly Sketching Day in Ueno –– But the Weather Managed to Hold Up for Us / 曇天の上野スケッチ会

Image
Throughout last year, we never had rain for our monthly meet-ups. In June, it was pouring the day before the meet-up. But the sky cleared up next day (and it was quite hot as well). In September, even though the forecast said it was going to rain, it was sunny throughout the day. Then we concluded I (the only member who joined all the monthly meet-ups) am a hare on’na (a woman blessed with good weather) and bring the sun. This month though, the sun was finally not with us. We had February’s meet-up on the 16th in Ueno. In the morning, it was raining and it looked like it would continue all day. 昨年の月例スケッチ会はいつもお天気に恵まれ、直前まで雨予報の日でさえ太陽が出て暖かい一日になるということばかりでした。月例スケッチ会に全回参加したのはわたしだけ。次第にわたしが晴れ女なのではないかという冗談がまことしやかに囁かれるようになりました。ところが、今月の上野でのスケッチ会はついに太陽が味方してくれず。朝からしとしと雨が降り、一日中続きそうな様子でした。 They were waiting under umbrellas, but... But, as I arrived at Grand Fountain in Ueno Park, the meeting place, it literally stopped raining. We were like, “wow!” I was surprised myself since it was just a ...

What a Diverse Group We Are! – Looking Back on Our Busy December and the Year of 2019 / 年末交流会、丸の内特別スケッチ会、そして2019年のUSkJを振り返って

年末のバタバタですっかり更新が遅れてしまいましたが、12月の月例会とその翌週に急遽行った丸の内スケッチ会のレポートです。合わせて、USk Japan運営メンバーからこの一年を振り返っての挨拶も載せているので、ぜひ最後までお読みください:) Sorry for this late posting (December is a busy month for the Japanese), but here is my report on December’s monthly meet-up and the special sketch outing at Marunouchi we had a week later. Also, there are greetings from the organizing members to wrap up this year at the end of the post. Hope you enjoy reading. All the photos in the post were by Kumi, Naoko, Casey, Tetsu, Shin, Lavinia, or me. I don't know which is whose anymore because there are too many photos. 12月、今年最後の月例会は、いつもの街中を散策するスケッチ会ではなく、こちら四谷ひろばにて交流会を行いました。 As our last monthly meet-up of 2019, we had a special exchange meeting at Yotsuya Hiroba. 四谷ひろばは廃校になった小学校を利用したコミュニティスペースで、見ての通り小学校の施設がそのまま残った、味わいのある場所。以前よりUSkJと交流のあるデッサングループ、四谷デッサン会さんの協力により、今回この四谷ひろばでの交流会が実現しました。あらためて四谷デッサン会さんへ感謝申し上げます。 Yotsuya Hiroba is a community space renovated from an abolished elementary school and retains th...
