Canada Trip 2015 (Day 12 Part 2): Where's my lunch?

I was too focused on the sketch that I forgot about my lunch!  The dish ended up only served when everyone else was gone!

Canada Trip 2015 (Day 9): Metrotown

First time using Chinese ink and it's very difficult to use!  (And the truth is I was only using 科學毛筆 and it's still very difficult.)

Canada Trip 2015 (Day 8 Part 2): Cafe Crepe

I confess I am a boring person.  I lunched at the very same Cafe Crepe during my last visit to Vancouver five years ago.  The food is as good, if not better, and I was so full afterward!

Canada Trip 2015 (Day 7): Bye-bye Edmonton

Time flies.  Can't believe I am leaving Edmonton so soon.

P.S.  No, I am not with the West Jet.  Just that I get a best spot here.

From the 4/F of Natural Resources Engineering Facility, where the Department of Civil Engineering is housed now.

P.S.  I sat on the table to sketch this, and then a guy came sit and ate and the next one :P

Canada Trip 2015 (Day 4): Uncle 2's backyard and the neighbour's tree

Uncle 3 can recognize it's Uncle 2's backyard from the sketch alone.  I take that as a compliment.

Canada Trip 2015 (Day 3): Sometimes a sketcher needs to brave the wind too

@ the Anderson's before BBQ.  It's windy and seems to rain a bit too, and the pages keep flipping because of the wind.  I am freezing with my shorts :(

Canada Trip 2015 (Day 2): Where is my suitcase?

Sketching Uncle 2's house is a major event planned for my trip.  What caught me by surprise is that I am also waiting for my suitcase while sketching this.  Yes, I arrived last night, but not my suitcase!  Luckily it arrived by 10am this morning, or my first stop would be to shop all the essentials!

Canada Trip 2015 (Day 1): Here I come!

On the Airport Express.  Not a bad start of a sketching trip.

Ink on paper

Purposely going to the airport early to sketch airplanes.   Sketchers can be quite crazy, regardless of skill level.  (P.S.  No, I am with Air Canada.)
