It's an urban sketch I did in 2019 during Chinese New Year! Even though the flower market wasn't big when compared with the others such as the flower market at Victoria Park on Hong Kong Island, this flower market was a must visit during Chinese New Year in Sai Kung Town! Various festive flowers were put together for people to admire and to purchase! I seized this opportunity to sketch the many festive flowers! Such a happy experience!

Kyoto Toji Temple Art Print

A urban sketch I did on 29 July 2017! I spent a day walking around Stratford visiting important landmarks related to William Shakespeare. I wanted to cover Shakespeare's whole life in one sketch so I visited and included Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Shakespeare's birthplace, the Guildhall and Grammar School and Holy Trinity Church where Shakespeare was buried. The interesting bit about this sketch was I couldn't plan the composition before hand. I just went with the flow and see how I could fit the landmarks in on the paper at every stop and I was happy with the result at the end of the day.

Hong Kong Art Print: Chun Yeung Street Tram and Wet Market

https://etsy.me/33M571g

An urban sketch that I did at the iconic Chun Yeung Street Wet Market back in 2017 during a sketch activity with Urban Sketchers Hong Kong. I really enjoyed sketching the iconic double decker tram, one of the symbols of old Hong Kong, the bat-shape red pawn shop sign and the busy stalls that gave the street its unique character! It was a day to remember! The sketch was done on location with watercolour and various ink pens!

 

Llantwit Major Church Sketch

Another new art print Thanks to my friend’s invitation, I had a great day out to this small charming town of Llantwit Major in South Wales! After exploring the quiet alleys of the town, I visited the charming church of St Illtyd’s which is a church complex in Llantwit Major, Vale of Glamorgan, southeast Wales. According to the information I got and my friend’s explanation, It is located at the site of the oldest college in the United Kingdom believed to have been founded by St Illtud c. AD 508. I settled in the garden of remembrance which gave me the great view of the church tower with rustic walls in front of me.

Llandaff Cathedral Art Print

I walked for an hour from Cardiff city centre to Llandaff Cathedral to sketch on 19 September. The sunlight again created this magical afternoon which provided me with fantastic lights and shadows. What’s even better was the choir singing heavenly songs which could be heard even outside the cathedral.

Caernafon Castle Urban Sketch Art Print

This piece is a live sketch painting, an urban sketch, that I did on location at Caffi Maes right in front of Caernafon Castle back in 2017. It was a bright happy sunny afternoon and I really enjoyed sketching and chatting with visitors and locals at Caffi Maes there.

Sai Kung Cows Watercolour Painting

Cows can easily be spotted in Sai Kung district in Hong Kong. In the past many years I lived in Sai Kung, I met them from time to time, often just in the streets of Sai Kung Town. I like their mild temperament and how they like to walk around in a pack. I used watercolour to paint this piece to depict this iconic creature, a member of wild Hong Kong.

Vertical Cityscape of Hong Kong 香港垂直都市

Now I just got this sketch scanned on my scanner. One of the last few sketches I did before flying to the UK. An amazing view of this city in which I grew up! Look at those windows, stacked together, amazing they look, so close to each other, each of them holds a story, be it sweet or bitter, the vertical cityscape of Hong Kong. The Pearl of the Orient! A name I heard often when I was young.

Waterfall Country, Wales 威爾斯瀑布國度

A friend of mine, an experienced hiker, took me to ‘Waterfall Country’ or the Vale of Neath in South Wales. I was thrilled to see the very lush and green temperate forests hidden in the deep valleys cut deep into the rocks by a mighty series of waterfalls! We visited four waterfalls and the third fall, Sgwd y Pannwr, was especially spectacular. We couldn’t stop for sketching as the journey was long so I decided to paint the scene when I was back home and here’s the results. A gouache and acrylic painting of Sgwd y Pannwr. I have taken a series of footage of the trip and do stay tuned for the upcoming YouTube video. Simply visit https://youtube.com/c/英國Gary畫室 to visit my channel. 一位畫友同時係行山老手早前帶我去行威爾斯出名的行山地段，Waterfall Country 又或者叫做Vale of Neath。一系列的瀑布侵蝕出一個狹長的山谷，山谷內生長了茂密的溫帶樹林。我們總共到訪了四個瀑布，其中第三個瀑布，Sgwd y Pannwr特別壯觀。本來想畫一張速寫，但時間緊迫，唯有影一些照片回家再畫一張作品。以下的作品係一張不透明水彩加塑膠彩的作品。我還拍了一系列的影片，稍後剪好片放上YouTube同大家分享。 #art #waterfall #waterfallpainting#acrylicpainting #gouache

Afternoon Sketch 下午速寫

I have been busy with moving home recently! Finally I have a bit of time to sketch. View from my home. I started it in the afternoon. I went out for shopping and came back to the sketch and by the time I finished, it’s already all dark outside. 過去兩星期非常繁忙，今日終於有一點時間，我就畫窗前的風景。畫了一半，出了去購物，回來完成作品的時候天已經完全黑了。 #usk #urbansketchers

Ngau Chi Wan Village 牛池灣鄉

I went to sketch at Ngau Chi Wan Village, one of the few remaining villages in the urban areas of Hong Kong and sadly its existence is under increasing pressure for redevelopment. I settled near the red village shrine as you can see it on the right. Huts built with metal sheets adorned with washing lines are right in front of me. I wouldn’t say it’s a beautiful scene but It’s definitely a fun and intriguing scene to sketch.
