Hung Kee Seafood Restaurant, Sai Kung Town


Hung Kee Seafood Restaurant is one the many seafood restaurants along the seafront promenade of Sai Kung Town, Hong Kong. Guess what are those things placed on the pavement.

Dundas Street, Mong Kok at night!



I sat inside the Dundas Street Sitting-Out Area and spent 20 minutes to finish this sketch. The time was 9:20p.m. and Mong Kok was vibrant and crowded with people as usual. However, the sitting-out area / pocket park that I was in was very much underused. I think the gates dividing the street and the park should be removed, otherwise very few will come in.

Central Market Mural 舊中環街市牆畫: 城中綠洲 Progress Update 18 Feb 2010





In March 2003, the Central Market ceased to operate. But now the government proposes to adopt ‘Central Oasis’ as the theme, to introduce more greenery into Central and to create an amenity space for the public. And wall painting is part of the project!

New Painting in Progress: Victoria Harbour in the Fifties 未完成的油畫: 五十年代老維港


參考照片是一張黑白照,畫面顏色只靠想像。
油畫底層: 先建立單色光暗對比
The reference photo is a black and white one, so colors on the painting are largely based on imagination.
Underlayer applied to establish values.

續層塗上顏色:但山景太艷及太前,稍後要調淡顏色。整張畫只有海傍建築物大致完成。
The colours of the mountains are too strong, need to lower its chroma later. Only the buildings are basically done at this stage.
