上野国立科学博物館スケッチイベントの報告です。Puttiさんを含む22+人が参加し、新しい顔にも出会えて嬉しかったです。 博物館内にはスケッチの素材がたくさんあり、4時間では全てを描ききることが難しかったです。全てを見て、興味を持ったものを描くには一日が必要かもしれません。 再度、参加してくれたみなさん、ありがとうございます！次回のスケッチミートアップでお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。 I'm thrilled that we had 22+ participants (including Putti-san, who joined later) and had the pleasure of meeting a few new faces. The museum offers an abundance of fascinating subjects to sketch, and it was challenging to cover everything within the allotted 4 hours. I believe a whole day would be needed to explore and sketch all the intriguing exhibits. Thanks again to everyone for joining! Looking forward to seeing you at the next sketch meetup in March!  Visit and join our Facebook group for future sketch events!

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 ...

The number of sketch meet ups also (naturally) increase. We strive to find new and fun location to visit. (Without such occasion we may not know or visit certain places.) Of course we sometimes visit same location again and again, such as Shinjuku gyoten, Ginza, Omotesando, Tokyo station etc.. Regardless the location to be old or new, we anyhow experience something new. If you are planning to join us to sketch together, please share your preferable locations with us so that we can broaden our choice of location, to sketch and to explore. 海外からの参加者も多くなるこの季節、新しいスケッチ会の場所を決めるのはなかなか骨の折れることですが、スケッチ会がなかったら行くことも知ることもない場所もいっぱいあり、もちろん何度も訪れたことのある場所だって行くたびに新しい出会いや発見はあるんですが。もし、Urban Sketchers Japanのスケッチ会に参加されてみたいと思っている方、いらっしゃいましたら、ここがいいよというお気に入りの場所の情報とともにご連絡を。 Sakuragicho, Yokohama with Hui from Singapore. Shibamata, Tokyo with a lot of old and new members, visitors and dwellers. I share some of participants' works here: Taishakuten temple's belfry by Casey Toriumi Toraya...
