Urban Sketchers Phillipines

Drawing encounters are always positive. Last January 14, coinciding with our stay in the Philippines, we arranged a meeting with the group of Urban Sketchers Manila.

In this post. I would like to take the opportunity to thank our hosts: Muffy Roxas, Carlo Martinez, Nice Rodriguez, Anna, Amparo, Randy Valiente...

As Chinese New Year was just around the corner, we decided to meet in Binondo Square, in the Chinatown of Manila where dozen of sketchers participated  and we also coincided with Manila Urban Photographers. Furthermore, a Japanese television channel interviewed us and made  a report of our encounter.
