Queen Victoria


Cloudy day in London today. Went out to sketch with London Urban Sketchers, my the first time with this group. I came a bit late so had time to do just this one quick sketch of the statue of Queen Victoria in front of Buckingham Palace with lots and lots of tourists around it.

    Better cloudy than rainy.....
    Nice one, I like it - not to much lines and not too little.... just right amount of pen moves :)

    Quick but excellent, Sasa! I think although its a sketch you transmit perfectly the "cloudy atmosphere" perhaps if you could finish the background the image of the statue and monument, could seems as a bit lost in the general image, Dont you think so?

    Perfect! I looked at the photos I had taken there and realized how difficult it is to sketch - using just lines to "catch" the whole! It's always a pleasure to see your sketches, Sasa!

Flowers gone wild... I was testing how watercolor paper would work with my ink painting. Unfortunately ink always looks quite dull on it when compared to 'rice paper', which shows magnificent shades and nuances. But the problem with rice paper is that painting gets crinkled and needs to be mounted on a stiffer backing paper, which is a very difficult process. Currently I am sending my work to China to be mounted but that is time consuming. There must be soneone in London who has mastered the traditional Asian wet mounting technique?

Backgrounds

Nunu the cat stepped on a plate of ink and then walked over some work of mine leaving cute paw marks... Unfortunately the end result was quite messy so I was experimenting with backgrounds today.     (This is not the first time Nunu participated in art creation. I have an earlier work where paw marks are clear and well-positioned and only improve the work... If I find it, I'll post it here later.)
