1031 – 1955 Cadillac series 75-23 – Sasakyang Magsaysay

This is the third drawing I did at the Presidential Car Museum with #Kyusisketchers last Sunday. In this one I decided to include the bust of the president who used the car – part of the display of each vehicle. This is Ramon Magsaysay (Sasakyang means vehicle or car in Tagalog) who was the 7th President of the Philippines – he was also a guerrilla leader during the Pacific War.

1030 – 1924 Packard single 6 touring – Emilio Aguinaldo’s car

This is the second drawing I did with #Kyusisketchers at the Presidential Car Museum last Sunday. I really enjoy these sketch-walks because its time dedicated to sketching and I can take as long as I like. Plus it helps (if you feel a bit shy) having fellow sketchers around you. This is one of the first cars you see in the museum (Aguinaldo was the first President of the Philippines and was a real revolutionary, fighting in the Philippine revolution, the Spanish-American war and the Philippine-American War) and big groups of school children visiting the museum, chose this spot for their group photos – so I was regularly surrounded during this sketch.

1029 – Presidential car museum before it got too hot

On Sunday I joined the QC Sketchers again (#Kyusisketchers) on a sketch-walk at the Presidential Car Museum. I didn’t even know this place existed – but I think I can be excused because the guy on reception told us it only opened up in August last year. The cars are housed in a pretty fancy modern building. According to one website the building is inspired by the Philippine flag, is shaped like an equilateral triangle and has the inside divided into the eight rays of sun seen in the flag.

I started with a drawing outside – a good idea of my fellow sketch Nadja to sketch outside before it got roasting hot.
