A while ago I joined Urban Sketchers Manila to sketch at the National Museum of the Philippines. But before that a group of us met in Arroceros Forest Park for a warm up. We were late – even later than our usual lateness – as we (actually me) got lost trying to find somewhere to park. Instead of sketching trees I sketched this (water?) truck. At this time of year all the greenery in public places is parched.
