Here is todays effort. I went up to the highest roof garden of SM Aura (a big shopping mall for anyone not in the Philippines) to paint this after dropping off my daughter who wanted to hang out with her friends. This is done in watercolour, ink and watercolour pencils.
I biked to the mall this morning and decided to stop and sketch this sculpture, which I used to see every day when I was driving to work. It’s called “Kasaysayan Bawat Oras” and is by Juan Sajid de Leon Imao. Google translates this as History Hourly and I gather the dancing figures are supposed to represent 7,100 islands of the Philippines. In the process of sketching I got soaked by the lawn sprinklers, which apart from soaking my watercolour pencils, was kind of pleasant and cooling! The drawing was done in charcoal, pencil, watercolour, ink and watercolour pencils.
