Hei ... aku lagi seneng nggambar ning jero bus, pas numpak mangkat kerjo sing kiro kiro butuh wektu sak jam telung puluh menit. Opo meneh yen ora poro penumpang sing dadi subject sketch ku ning kono. Yen bis ora patio sesak kuwi wayah sing pas banget ugo ukuran buku gambar sing pas, ojo gede gede, A5 kuwi paling gede rumangsaku nggo nggambar ning bis. Yen bukune gede A4 umpomone kuwi kegeden, ora praktis lan nyolok yen kene lagi nggambar, iso iso sing di gambar kroso ora seneng. Aku sok sok yo nganggo karcis e bis BRT sing tak tumpaki kuwi nggo nggambar. Buku A6 yo praktis banget.

Street Bazaar - Pasar Gg. Baru





Morning Chat.
Two women meet and have a long chat to let me sketch them up in an enough time.

The dragons, people and parasols.

A busy street market in the morning.

The seller and the buyer.

A fellow in the middle of sketching the street market and it's people.

The women with best banana you can get in town.
Look at their bamboo hats and basket.

Gang Baru Street Bazaar with a Chinese temple in the background.

Gg. Baru (means New Alley) is a small street at China town in Semarang central Java. Every day this small street is filled with street seller. They start the activity at five in the morning and sell from vegetable to meat, cloth, food, fruits and many other things.
This traditional street market is absolutely an interesting place to sketch. Like last week, this time we also have Mr. Aryo Sunaryo , a lecturer in Art Department of Universitas Negeri Semarang.

The Arena

Mr. Rudi Hartanto IN ACTION

Cock fighting arena

A man is observing his fighting cock inside a bamboo cage.

Many buildings in the area of Old Semarang, also known as Little Nedherland, are left unused and ignored. It is not an exception to Jl. Kepodang (Kepodang street or Hoogendorp Straat in colonial time).

At this area, wild plants are growing on the old buildings and slowly deteriorating the structure, the cement come off the wall and expose the brick. The condition is becoming worst with the hot sun in dry season and monsoon rain in wet season and water intrusion.

However, everyday this area is always busy during the day, many people come to for their certain purpose : fighting their cocks.

Last Sunday (Sept 26th 2010) 'Semarang Urban Sketchers' went there to meet up and sketching.

Jakarta

Immanuel Church - Jakarta

The construction began on the birthday of King Willem I on August 24, 1835 and lasted four years until August 24, 1839. The church was then named Willemskerk. During the Japanese occupation the church was a repository of the ashes of Japanese soldiers killed in the war. In 1948 the church was renamed Immanuel Church and today this black domed church offers sermons in Indonesian, English and Japanese.
