Today I thought I’d try something a bit bolder and more colourful at my usual sketching session while watching my daughter at gymnastics. The place is so colourful, I thought I would just concentrate on that.

#601 – Fresh paluto
Today, after I’d done our weekly shopping I had a moment to sketch a scene at the food court of the hyper-mart. I doubt many people look up but there are odd shaped lights and a green and blue circular skylight over the whole area. I think fresh Paluto means “freshly cooked”…I am sure some of my Filipino friends will correct me if I’m wrong!

Yes, more sketching at my daughters gymnastics classes – this one was done very quickly and I added some colour later.

#564 – Girls on the beam
Yes, it’s back to the gym again – more training for my daughter who will be entering competitions next year. Today there was a big group of young girls practicing on the beam. The two on the left are actually the same girl!

Day 039 – Pasig River park
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.
