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.

Time to paint the cows in my neighbourhood. I just finished painting the second piece of the Sai Kung series. Sai Kung Cow No. 2. It’s the first time I used Daniel Smith watercolour and I like it.

Feral cows are often seen in the district I live in and I enjoy so much drawing and painting them. Recently I did a small watercolour sketch of a cow in my sketchbook and I decided to repaint it on an A3 size watercolour paper and here's the result.

 

西貢天后廟速寫 Sketching Sai Kung Tin Hau Temple

陰天安靜的下午，速寫好時機，我安坐西貢天后廟前速寫。   

A cool overcast day, a quiet afternoon, perfect for some meditation and urban sketching in front of Sai Kung Tin Hau Temple, a temple for the goddess of the sea.
