Classic Car Show 2017 香港老爺車展 2017



After finishing a workshop in the morning, I managed to get to the Classic Car Show in Central around 2:00pm and spent one and a half hours sketching this magnificent car. I included a bit of the background to show the context of the location as well. 

下午趕到中環老爺車展,個半鐘頭內畫了架好靚嘅老爺車,然後再加上一點背景。

The Ruins of Tintern Abbey 威爾斯一間修道院的廢墟



Another scanned sketch! The ruins of Tintern Abbey looked absolutely stunning under the sun on this sunny day. The shadows and lights cast on the ground were a joy to sketch.

另一張就係威爾斯畫的速寫。Tintern Abbey 已荒廢數百年,陽光普照的下午,光與影格外分明!

Ap Lei Chau Harbour 鴨脷洲海港



Sketching the very narrow Ap Lei Chau Harbour and the crazy residential highrises near Aberdeen this afternoon.

今日下午嚟到鴨脷洲速寫,鴨脷洲海港狹窄,對岸住宅大廈奇高,背景係高山,可謂香港奇景。
