Cihangir


On Saturday October 10 , Istanbul Sketchers met in Taksim Square for the first time. We— Midori, Jo, Sara and I, decided to head to the çaybahçe in Cihangir to sketch the characters who spend hours at small tables with small tulip-shaped glasses of tea.

These are some of my sketches— I'll be getting some images of Jo and Midori's fabulous work to post soon.

Welcome to USk Istanbul

I'm really excited to announce this new USk blog for Istanbul. Samantha Zaza, a founding member of the Urban Sketchers blog, will spearhead this community. I can't wait to see such a fascinating city portrayed by the group of talented sketchers who'll be joining this blog.
