Sketching at Maryknoll Convent School

On 16 April, Urban Sketchers Hong Kong assembled once again to sketch at the historic campus of Maryknoll Convent School in Kowloon Tong.   Thanks to Ms. Barbara Hung (Chairperson of MCS Foundation), Dr. Maria Lee, the school supervisor and Mr. Yan, the teacher of MCS, we enjoyed a wonderful day sketching the beauty of the historic buildings on campus.  

During the show-and-tell session, members of USKhk and MCS shared techniques, exchanged ideas and views on the many sketches produced on site.  

A group photo of all the happy results!  Before taking a look at this year's result, here is the link to last year activity at MCS: http://uskhongkong.blogspot.hk/2015/02/maryknoll-convent-90th-anniversary.html

Maryknoll Convent School 90th Anniversary

"Thanks for Miss Barbara Hung (Chairperson of MCS foundation) for making all the connections with the school."

It was a wonderful Saturday (28/3/2015). Being invited by MCS to sketch together with their Art students. We began the sketchcrawl with a little tour lead by Dr. Maria Lee, the supervisor and Mr. Yan, teacher of MCS. The beautiful campus is hardly open to outsider and it was a privilege for USkHK be able to sketch this beauty.

Greeting to everyone before we start.

 The campus was covered with beautiful flowers and quickly we made there as our home for the day.

Morning session.

 We had a good time with Jane Blundell, a visiting artist from Sydney.  Her knowledge of colour blew our minds and got us fully inspired!

After lunch, we went back for the second sketch.

 

 

And here are some of our results below:

During the Easter Holiday, Gary Yeung went back to Boundary Street and captured the corner of MCS, together he painted the Lion Rock.

We had talked about this view when we were sketching on the 28th March; we think this angle is very interesting and colourful as well.  Also, the Lion Rock is the logo of USkHK, which is a very meaningful image.
