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.

EDM 139 Draw something with a handle

Woven tea strainer from Bhutan.

Bitter Melon

Not posted for a while as I've been busy with a commission...big learning curve
(Hong Kong street scene), will show the results soon.
For a 2012 update click here for another bitter melon sketch

EDM 149 Draw a broom

My new bamboo broom for sweeping the roof....

 

EDM challenge 117 Draw something round

 A woven ball from Thailand, thought I'd give myself a challenge. I could keep on going with this but think I've reached the overworking stage.

A Handbag

A lovely late birthday surprise gift from my friend, my first real handbag for many years.

Thank-you Mika

EDM 178 Draw something Red

My favourite flip-flops, not sure it's finished but need a
 break from drawing red things......

Sunday on Lamma

The local Kung Fu School came round the village on Sunday, lots of colour, energy, big noises and lucky lettuce.

 

Sweeping up the firecrackers. 






I do have a video of this but not sure which is the best program to use to edit it, any suggestions?

Kung Hei Fat Choi

Wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy, Creative and Prosperous Year of the Tiger

not sure whether the knot hanging below should be coloured or not

EDM challenge 200 Draw something lucky

Getting ready for Chinese New Year, or should instead of sketching

the flat should be cleaned from top to bottom, ready to let the good luck in
and decorated with lots of flowers, oranges etc.......

 

will do it tomorrow

Japanese Tea Whisk

Thought I would give myself a challenge and tried to draw this amazing bamboo whisk...aarrgghh

Not happy with the end result after hours of frustration, but planning to go back and draw it when

it has been well used

EDM challenge 257

Second attempt in my moleskine

EDM challenge 257

my first attempt at an EDM challenge
The yukka tree inside, looking a bit sad since I inherited it.
This is from a photo as it's too big to scan
