Every Day in May # 30

Mosquito coils..

Every Day in May # 29

Octopus on a stick.
I've found a way to make me draw quickly....draw something that smells!
Apologies to all octopi and vegetarians out there ......

scanned quickly as a storm is coming..........

Every Day in May # 28

no mayo..but have got mango chutney........
(which works well with cheese on toast)

















A tricky bottle to draw, will tackle it again another time

Every Day in May # 27

cheese sandwich (but sadly no mayonnaise!)

Every Day in May # 26

Found this at the beach today.....

Every Day in May # 25

This hamper was the first drawing I posted and because I haven't drawn anything woven for a while I thought I'd give it a try ....but time ran out...floors needed to be cleaned......

Every Day in May # 24

Folded cheongsam.
I decided to sketch this again to add the colour.The material
is amazing but very detailed , I put the pattern on with
acrylic then used a green watercolour wash.

Every Day in May # 23

Cheongsam.....intended to paint this when I started but like the pencil
so I thought I'd put it up before I add colour.

Every Day in May # 22

Time ran out today..came home from work and drew a bottle of beer
didn't like the end result so did a quick orchid sketch at the last minute....
( Need to strengthen the background I think, but tomorrow.)

Every Day in May # 21

Happy Buddha statue...
Today is a Public holiday in Hong Kong for Buddha's Birthday.
This is one of the Buddhas we have....

Every Day in May # 20

beach find...broken sea urchin

Every Day in May # 19

a ball of string...it begged me to draw it .....
I saw this in my local shop and thought it'd be fun to draw....
...interrupted by work and life but maybe that was good,
it could have gone on forever...... 

Every Day in May # 18

wooden prayer beads

Every Day in May # 17

Every Day in May # 16

Sketches of Double Happiness Brand birthday candles.
I found these last night in my local shop, they seem to belong to a different era

Every Day in May # 15

two tiny tea cups.............

Every Day in May # 14

a plate of chillies......and big thank-you for your comments and support!

Every Day in May # 13

Chinese lucky bells
(These are usually hanging from our door knob.)
another quick sketch today but done in daylight....
EDM # 123 Draw a bell

Every Day in May # 12

A very quick little shell today.....

Every Day in May # 11

Sandalwood Fan
EDM #187

Every Day in May # 10

Teapot. I couldn't get this right, too much pattern so not easy to work out the shadows.
 I have given up and off to find something simpler to draw tomorrow.

Every Day in May # 9

A bag of rice

Every Day in May # 8

and EDM # 196

Old rope...wanted to colour this (as it's red) but time (and work) got in the way......there's always tomorrow

Every Day in May # 7

 I couldn't resist this from my local hardware shop....bamboo handle, great simple brown paper packaging.
Want to do more studies but this is number 7 for EDiM.

Hastily taken photo...will scan later.......

Every Day in May # 6

A Dragon Boat, to celebrate Tin Hau Festival today on Lamma Island.

Every Day in May # 5

Number four...just a little sketch today, been rubbing this on my bad back....

This one's for Flora, Thank-you!

Every Day in May # 4

Orchids in bloom.

This is about two thirds of the sheet as it was bigger than A4
(This could be for EDM # 76 too or is that cheating?)

Every Day in May # 3

Wooden pegs, love the packaging...better get on with the washing now.

(watercolour, pencil, pen)

Every Day in May # 2

Spent alot of time on my paintings today but did a very small drawing of a shell.
Most things I do are A4 size or bigger and it amazed me how quickly I drew this.

Every Day in May # 1

Bamboo Steamer
Drawing number 1 for Every Day in May.

I wanted to add colour but ran out of time...think it'll be good for me to do this.
I'm using this May to get all my ideas sketched out (a woven/bamboo theme happening)
The image was too big to scan all the page, it only covers half of the paper
but will take a photo tomorrow when it's light.
