A Hongkongese in Taipei : Sketching Beitou 港人畫台北 : 速寫北投

Thanks to Carton and friends from Urban Sketchers Taipei,  I had a very happy sketch day in Beitou and visited a few interesting spots in the area.  The first place we sketched was the Beitou Public Library, a wooden structure that stands next to the hot spring river.  I was really drawn to the interior of the library so I decided to stay inside and made a sketch out of it.  During lunch, we shared our sketches and talked about different techniques and styles.  Carton, the leader of the Taipei sketch group, even demonstrated to us his quick sketch method.  After lunch, we visited the Beitou Hot Spring Museum, formerly a Japanese bathhouse and I chose to sketch in the balcony of the museum afterwards. 

感謝Carton同「速寫台北」的朋友帶我遊北投同一齊速寫。早上先到北投圖書館。此館主要用木材建成，依河而建，無論內外都很有歐陸風格。我特別喜歡館內的環景，於是就留在館內速寫。午飯時大家分享作品，品評切蹉，Carton還示範一筆畫一畫！之後前往原為日本溫泉浴室的北投溫泉博物館參觀，我並在二樓露台上速寫。
