In the bustling metropolis of Bangkok, we find a group of passionate artists who share their love for sketching: the Bangkok Sketchers. For a decade, this group has been committed to the simple joy of sketching, a medium that transforms the mundane into the extraordinary.
Born out of a passion for creative expression and a love for their city, the Bangkok Sketchers found each other in 2013 and have been gathering ever since to capture the unique perspectives of Bangkok. From bustling markets and picturesque temples to the rustic corners of the city, every corner is captured in sketches by their eyes and hands.
The Bangkok Sketchers is more than a group; it's a community that celebrates the power of sketching. They firmly believe that sketching is an unparalleled way of observing and understanding the world. By fully immersing themselves in their environment, they can notice details that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Sketching is not a professional activity for the members of the Bangkok Sketchers, but a way of life. It is a form of meditation and reflection that allows them to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around them. They see the city through a lens of appreciation and curiosity, constantly looking for new details to capture.
The Bangkok Sketchers invite everyone, regardless of their drawing skills, to join them and take part in this celebration of the creative spirit. It's an opportunity to see the world through the eyes of an artist and discover the wonders of the everyday environment. Because as the members of the group like to say: “Every sketch is a journey of discovery, and every journey of discovery is a story worth telling.”
The Bangkok Sketchers continue to explore their city, sketch after sketch, story after story. In their hands, the city becomes a living work of art, ever-changing yet timeless in its beauty.
