I enjoy working fast with outdoor watercolors and sketches. China is filled with interesting characters, especially in the summers. I spend a lot of time in the streets painting older men playing cards in the street. Old sofas are thrown out and left on the sidewalks so older men congregate and play games or just watch. Some street corners may have as few as two or three men sitting together, and some may have as many as six or seven games going with a total of fifty people including gamers and viewers. Sitting on curbs, leaning on each other, one foot on a sofa, leaning over bicycles, the poses are limitless. With the hot summer months here, men often go without a shirt on, or with their T-shirts rolled up around their chests. Then, for the finishing touch on a sketch that would make the average American or European look on with interest, the men with their pant legs rolled up around their thighs in an effort to cool down.
I finally got a digital camera, and would like to send photos of some sketches, I need now to learn how to download images or whatever else may pertain to the job of sending images to the forum.
Enjoy,
Anthony
