Urban Sketchers Lisbon Symposium 2011

I had the opportunity to attend the 2011 Urban Sketchers Symposium held in Lisbon, Portugal, July 21 to July 23.  It was a magnificent event and a great chance to meet people from all over the world that share the same interest.  The Sessions with professional instructors and lectures were well organized and they were very beneficial to my learning experience.  Thank you to all the instructors and thank you to all the friends I made for a wonderful time.  I hope to see you soon :)

A Trip to San Francisco

Hello everyone, I visited San Francisco in April this year.  The flowers were in bloom and the air was so warm comparing to where I live here in Canada.  I had the chance to sketch some of the view as we visited the city by foot.  Here are some pencil drawings.  I am looking forward to meeting you at the Lisbon Symposium. 

Stella Jurgen Sketching in London, England

I had the opportunity to visit London, England the summer of 2010.  I enjoy painting outdoors, but I thought it would be very difficult to bring back some oil paintings that take months to dry, so I decided to capture the moment with pencil drawings instead.  This was my first time drawing urban sketches, and that was a good experience for me.  There was nothing more comforting than sitting down and drawing the sites while resting for a few minutes.
