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

Sketching in the Hong Kong Museum of History

A last-minute change of venue due the extreme cold weather, Urban Sketchers Hong Kong visited the Hong Kong Museum of History and spent a day in the warm indoors to sketch the wonderful exhibits which depicted the changes of Hong Kong through time and also a collection of porcelain from the Ming Dynasty.

Yen Chow Street Fabric Market, Sham Shui Po 深水埗布市場「棚仔」

Yen Chow Street Fabric Market is not just a great place for buying fabric, it's also a tourist attraction in its own right! Rolls of fabric stacked up along the alleys, fluorescent lights hanging below flimsy tin roofs, walking inside the market is like being transported into another realm!

Would it be a wise move to demolish this gem for just a few blocks of residential high-rises? If it must be done, will there be a relocation plan to help these hawkers and at the same time make their new market an even better attraction similar to the very successful Yuen Po Street Bird Garden project?

As the market is likely to close down soon for redevelopment, our sketchers hurried to visit this place and recorded the essence of this unique place with their sketching tools.
