Girl Sketching outside the temple of the Emerald Budhha

I saw this Girl Sketching outside the temple of the Emerald Buddha in Thailand, I walked up to her and asked her if i could watch her sketch and she said it was ok. She was just starting to sketch the temple spires with her colored pencils so after a few minutes I left her to her sketching, I did not ask questions as to not disturb her.

I certainly have seen more people sketching here in Japan last march than anywhere else I have been to. Most of the artists I saw here in Japan where mostly 50 years old up, judjing by the wrinkles on their faces and white hairs, which for me is not far off.

I would like to see more young people doing outdoor drawings.

I have a friend in Singapore who joins an urban sketching group there, maybe there are more young people in Singapore who love to sketch the outdoors.

These islets are what you see when you hang around the cove where the crystal cave and tundan cave are at. on our way to kanlanuk falls from the mangrove area i sketched our pumpboat and the last mangrove tree we saw before leaving for more islets and hillsides fronting the water on the pump boat i had a realization and had to write it down before i forget it. by the time i was done we were greeted by the hills of kanlanuk bay, lined with mango trees and other fruit bearing trees.
