Sketching Hong Kong Fringe Club

The buildings in which Hong Kong Fringe Club (South Block) and its neighbour, the Foreign Correspondents' Club (North Block) occupy were originally the headquarters of a local dairy company, Dairy Farm, and thus the structures were otherwise collectively called the old Dairy Farm Building.  The first block was built in 1892 and was further expanded in 1913, 1917 and 1925.  

In order to capture the beauty of these two buildings, Urban Sketchers Hong Kong gathered on 4 June and captured the many different faces of this landmark.

Sketching Classic Cars 2015


It was the third year Urban Sketchers Hong Kong collaborated with Classic Car Club Hong Kong. Sketching the annual Chater Road Classic Car Show has become one of the most important events of our group.  Every year, we are always the last group of people leaving the road. How can we resist not sketching these beauties until the last minute of the show?

Graham Street continue and forever.

After the sketching event organized by our friend Sketcher-Kee on the 22nd March, 2015.   Our sketchers did not stop the momentum and continue to record this face lifting neigborhood.

 公利真料竹蔗水1948年開業,開舖差不多70年,專售賣竹蔗水,當日寫生完畢第一次入去品嘗,竹蔗水果然新鮮清甜。

Beautiful terrazzo balconies of a printing company at the corner of Wellington Street and Graham Street. The owner has moved and the building will soon bite the dust.  
This florist's stand was on the opposite side of the alley last week. Her stall got demolished by the Urban Renewal Authority and she continues her business beside the butcher.

Another scene from the rapidly disappearing Graham Street market. On that day I sketched with Jane Blundell from Sydney. I am not sure how old the grocery store on the left was. It was the scissor framed awning that attracted me at first. Half way through the sketch the lady from the flower stall started removing the beautiful orchids in front of me. Jane said to me "it's all my fault!" as it was ...the orchids which attracted her initially. So I asked the florist whether she was packing up for the day, she replied that she was taking a lunch break and after a while the orchids came out again. Alvin Wong dropped by too, and we met Tommy Kane from New York. The grocery store has now closed permanently but the flower stall is still open for business.

Sketching Graham Street 速寫嘉咸街

A great sketch day out with friends from 事吉茶記 Sketcher-Kee on 21 March!  The market along Graham Street will soon be gone as redevelopment will take place soon.  A group of dedicated sketchers worked hard to record the essence of this place before it's gone forever!
