Topkapı Sarayı Bahçesi Eskiz Buluşması

     Geçtiğimiz Pazar günü yine USK İstanbul'un eskiz günlerinden biriydi. Her seferinde sabah binbir çile ile üşene üşene kalkıp, gideceğim saate kadar nasıl etsem de bu işten kaytarsam diye düşünürken, gün bitiminde çantamda resimlerle eve dönerken mutlu mesut bir halde iyiki bugün de gelmişim diyorum. Bu sefer bizi biraz da zorlayacak bir mekan olan Ayasofya ve Topkapı Sarayı'nı seçtik.

     Last Sunday, we -the Sketchwalkers of the Constantinapoli- meet for another sketch walk. This time weather was hot and the mission was so much challenging. The places that we choose for drawing is with lots of domes and cylindrical shapes Hagia Sophia Mosque and Topkapı Palace, but we couldn't accept an easy defeat. Then we gathered and promise ourselves for trying to draw what we scared.

     Then we take our instruments and started to find a proper place for drawing. Our first stop was Aya Irini Church, which located in the first courtyard of the palace. After that, we packed our stuff and walked to our next point. This time we stopped in front of the main gate of the palace. In that point, we tried another method and give ourselves just ten minutes to finish our sketches, mine was terrible so you wouldn't see my drawing, instead of mine you can see our successful sketchers pictures.

Ok, ok, I'll show you my picture too.

     Then we moved on one of the inner gates and stopped to draw different scenes.

Finally, we drew few more sketches and finished the day. Before USK Istanbul meetings, I've never thought that I could be happy with the people that I don't know before. Even we didn't saw each other before, we talked like ten-year-old friends. Here other scenes from our sketch walk day.
