3 “lucky cats” and bamboo, at the dim sum restaurant. A good start to an afternoon of sketching in Chinatown.
Waverly Place. Yes, it’s utterly touristy. And great fun to sketch. The sun was blinding in the afternoon, and everything around me looked like it was dotted in shimmery yellow, red and emerald green.
Grant Avenue, complete with strings of lanterns, flags, and even a dimsum restaurant called “Four Seas”. Who said “less is more”? In this sketch I particularly enjoyed drawing layer upon layer of stuff, all disappearing into the distance: lanterns, cars, flags, lampposts and pagoda-like buildings.

Great!
Thanks for sharing, I like sketches, very fluid!
VERY cool, Suhita!!!
Beautiful sketches. Your line work is very lively and confident. Thanks for sharing the wonderful images of Chinatown.
You captured the flavor of Chinatown beautifully. You make the process look so easy.
These are great!
Thanks, I love your fluid watercolors- very inspiring.. and the information on doing art shows and craft fairs in really good. I hope to do that one day soon!
Love them all especially the Grant Ave. They are all fluid and expressive.
I can almost breathe the atmosphere. Very accomplished sketches.
Such an active and expressive style. Really dig it. I like the little pen gestures throughout.
I love your work. I will be in San Fransisco in July for a photo project. I hope it is as beautiful as your sketches.
Good luck! what a fabulous city to photograph! I hope to spend at least a few more days sketching in different neighborhoods all over the city!
These are so cool! =)
