Day 081 – Sculptures in High Street

ACE.081-sculptures at high street 220616-2

These are two pieces of public art in High Street Bonifacio Global City. The bear is called Tinstaej #85 (There Is No Such Thing As Endless Joy) by Conrado Velasco. The orange/red things are free standing floor chimes made of metal. It’s called Presence, by Reg Yuson. People are supposed to nudge the chimes to make sounds and bring good vibes to the park [according to the BGC website – http://www.bgc.com.ph/article/presence%5D.

I drew this in graphite pencil, followed by watercolour, chalk pastel and a bit of watercolour pencil. I recently rediscovered an old Derwent water soluble pencil – 8B I think – it makes great dark lines when dipped in water.
