Subjects of the sketches include landscapes, flora and fauna, everyday life and the supernatural. The word manga in the title does not refer to the contemporary story-telling manga, as the sketches in the work are not connected to each other. Block-printed in three colours (black, gray and pale flesh), the Manga comprise literally thousands of images in 15 volumes, the first published in 1814, when the artist was 55. The final three volumes were published posthumously, two of them assembled by their publisher from previously unpublished material. The final volume was made up of previously published works, some not even by Hokusai, and is not considered authentic by art historians (from: Wikipedia).<br />

A friend gave me a copy of the manga book and I was impressed by the simplicity and the use of white, gray and flesh as the basic color palette as well as the depiction of day-to-day life in pre-Meiji Restoration, Japan.<br />
<br />
I've spent most of January studying the manga books and practicing with the simple color palette.<br />

This yearly meeting is crucial to work on outstanding issues, plan for future educational events, and to set the trajectory for our organization's mission. Meetings take up most of the day, but in the evenings, after dinner there was a little time left to sketch, albeit in the dark.<br />
<br />
We also had the opportunity to meet with <a href="http://365onroad.blogspot.com/">Benedetta Dossi</a>, as she kicked off the <a href="http://www.urbansketchers.org/2017/01/10-years-x-10-classes-in-rome.html">10x10</a> workshop classes in Rome.<br />

More on that at a later date...<br />

Overall a wonderful city with much to see and sketch. The fairly flat topography around the city center provides the perfect conditions for biking. The Louisiana Museum of Art, named after the property owner's wives,, not the state in the US, was spectacular.<br />

- a field session in their yearly conference. The session was structured with a lecture on urban skecthing and field drawing and a day-long on-location sketch walk through the heart of downtown Denver. The walk included short talks on the history and context of the location as well as drawing excercises useful to landscape architects and sketchers alike.<br />
<br />
The session was organized by <a href="http://www.jamesrichardssketchbook.com/">Jim Richards</a>, along with <a href="http://www.aslaexpo.org/aslaexpo13/public/SpeakerDetails.aspx?ContactID=1826&FromPage=nz_ALSessionSearch.aspx?ID=66">Bob Chipman</a>, <a href="http://gonzogardens.com/">Chip Sullivan</a> and me. It was a great event on a perfect day with some exceptional sketchers from around the country.<br />
<br />
We also put together a great video on teaching sketching at Rutgers:<br />

The activity was organized by NYC Urban Sketchers, The New York Chapter of the ASLA, ElPaper Magazine and the Caracas Urban Sketcher Group. Below are some maps, photos and sketches of the event. We would encourage other groups to "get together, miles apart" and sketch!

I have visited this park before and have looked at its map. The sitting down and redrawing the map, then walking through the space proved to be a significant exercise in better understanding the park's spaces-paths, edges and nodes.</div>

<br />
What we plan to do on any trip can be written down and organized. This charting, writing and organizing can be considered a "mapping".
There's what we plan, then what actually happens and one can record this as a map.
The day's plan was written in black, what actually happened in orange and sketches of things I saw and ate.<br />

<br />
As I work to scan it all and stich together the accordions, I'll start to post parts and snippets.<br />
