Another sketch from the local activity. I couldn't post more than one pics in one entry through flickr which is really not pleasant...

Thanks those readers who left comments on my blog. Since blogger is blocked in China currently, Ive no way to log in to reply to you.

Here is a sketch of an old woman drinking water and resting. Used charcoal on paper, and then brush water on when I returned home.

Nanshan Fengqing Street, originally uploaded by rgmu11.

We went to see an local activity near our home yesterday morning which lasts from the 26th to 31st, May. A group of old people were dressed up doing Yangge Dance there. Al got much fun from seeing that and he even danced for a bit under a dancer's invitation. . There were also some art shows on in those Japanese houses along the street.

Here are some sketches I did.
