80-2531 – Oh my gulay

Here is another sketch I did in Baguio…again taking photos of each step in an effort to show how I sketch. The truth is though, that I am usually not quite so careful and just launch into the sketch without any ‘construction’ lines…that’s why I often miss out the top of a tall building or find what I am sketching disappearing off the edge of the page! This one is done in my favourite restaurant in Baguio, a place called “Oh my gulay” – a local expression literally meaning ‘oh my veggies’ but effectively more like OMG. I’ve sketched here several times before – if you are keen you can hunt for sketch numbers 1643 and 2297 in my archive.

80-2530 – Mt. Yangbew viewpoint

I have been a bit lax in posting recently because I am preparing for a sketch-book making workshop on Sunday, plus I am giving a little urban sketching talk to some students in Intramuros next week. For the latter (as I am supposed to talk about the process I follow), I took some photos of this sketch at each step of the way. I did this one when we had a little hike up Mount Yangbew in La Trinidad, when we visited Baguio over last weekend.

80-2529 – Baguio rolling clouds

We have been on a little trip to Baguio and stayed in a nice little apartment way up in the mountains (or it certainly felt that way for our poor little car which struggled with the hills). This is the view we had from the rooftop. I did this sketch on the first day we arrived, after a long drive up from Manila, having setting off at 4am!
