Today I biked along part of Pasig River on my way to Makati. I stopped off at a park at the University of Makati to draw this. The river is a deep, dark glossy blue, almost black….because, sadly, it resembles an open sewer. This drawing doesn’t convey the smell of course… thank goodness.
I always love your watercolor sketches. Not sure which parts are my favorite….that that reddish color in the bush on the bottom and that row of blue roofs….or the sky line?……all of it! lol
Thanks so much Margaret. Glad you like it!
Your watercolor makes it seem so beautiful. What a complex scene — visually — and now I understand that it’s complex in other ways as well.
Thanks Aletha. There have been attempts to clean up the river but none have worked so far. If it wasn’t for the smell, the ride along the river would be lovely
