Here is another sketch from my Cambodia archive. This one was done in pencil and pastel – my favourite media at the time. Obvously I did a lot of sketching in temples when I lived there – I always found them to be lovely peaceful and quiet places.

Here is another sketch from my archives. When I lived in Phnom Penh, I used to go out on Sundays on my bike and sketch some of the interesting houses in the area where I lived. This was before the city became much more developed and crowded…when there were still old wooden houses in the centre of the city. I am not sure if that is the case anymore.

I haven’t had time to sketch again today – just too much work – so I am posting from my archives. Despite the crudeness of this sketch done in Cambodia, it brings back happy memories for me. This building is part of the Faculty of Architecture in Phnom Penh where I taught for three years. I drew this while I was waiting to meet some of my students (or perhaps work colleagues) as we were going out together on a trip. I got the colour of the building just right I think – and they are still that deep rusty red today.

Here is another drawing I scanned from one of my old sketchbooks. This was done when I was living in Phnom Penh, Cambodia – from the balcony of my friends house (which is what the title half means – it’s a transliteration from Khmer).
