Ned, that street did turn but probably didn't go far. Most of the streets just go straight down to the bay and have some kind of metal barrier to stop the fools who would keep on driving. lol I know out in California many of the beaches are down below cliffs...something we rarely see here on Long Island. Sorry your calligraphy ink and the paper didn't play nicely together. Nice sketch of the bottle.
Vivien, thanks so much.
Jo, so the ink colors were neon, not pastel? Come to think of it I don't think I've seen pastel colors in that brand. Nice bottle shapes and shading on them. Good job on your hand.
Ai, nice bakery treat. I should have thought of that today while I was at Chelsea Market with the sketchers. There were a lot of places that had treats...but I didn't indulge. I should have sketched my delicious tacos, but of course I forgot. lol I like your flowers in the basket.
The NYC Urban Sketchers went to Chelsea Market today. It is a 2-floor collection of restaurants, food stalls, and shops. It was decorated with a lot of Chinese lanterns and a few dragons.
On the way to the city I sketched on the Long Island Railroad.
3 - sketchbook - watercolors and ink
4 - legs
The Oreo sign is because the building was once the Nabisco factory and they made Oreos.
3 - entrance - watercolors
4 - people
5 - animal animal (A dragon is a mythical one, right?) - watercolors and ink
6 - culture (Chinese lanterns and shop)

Ai, the treat looks lovely. Fun to explore and have a good day. the flowers are so fun, I like the basket.
Ah, should have known Joan would be out and about, too. You did fantastic sketches. On the railroad sketches are good. Love the wallamnd people in the Oreo one. The dragon scene is sooo good. I didn't see the chopsticks the first time.
You two artists do the most fun and adventurous things. I'm smiling and looking again.

Jo -- the acrylic inks are great. I don't know anything about acrylic ink except it's what my friend is trying to use with gelli printing using a laser-printed image of branches.... I'd be curious to know if it stays shiny. Nice sketch of your hand!
Ai -- great direct WC. I like the sense of light in the treat!
Joan -- Like that you got your legs and sketchbook and it feels like we're on the train with you! I think my daughter takes the Long Island Railroad when she goes back to school to get from Jamaica Station to Penn Station where she goes across to the Moynihan train hall to get the Amtrack up the Hudson... nice bakery scene and I always notice how you get nice deep colors, the reds and golds in the last one are great.
#2 animal -- rockfish a friend gave me ( carved out of a coconut! ) ink and tried to use inktense for colors. Learned something, probably can do a little better next time.
it has more yellow and orange on the bottom than this photo shows:

Joan: Awesome sketches.... Yes, the legs in the railroad are so cool and the Chinese new year decoration, esp. the challenging dragon is super. Your atmospheric sketch of people eating with chopsticks are wonderful.
Jo: Thanks.
Ned: Thanks. The fish folk art looks very interesting. Your sketch is very nice, your proportion is spotted on. Now, your fish art inspires me to look out for any coconut around where we live. We also live in the orchard zone of Bangkok.
