Sketchings- Chinese Ink Wash

Ineeded to find something to do that does not take mush space of the need of a studio and  decided to work with small sketches using Chinese Ink  with brush. It started off a little shaky as iit has been quite sometime that I have done this.

The subject matter i decided upon  just having  the local faces old and new that one commonly find in and around Georgetown,Penang.

I have been working with smaller sketches lately and have almost one hundred pieces done of various sizes and most done on recycled boards from the frame shop. These boards are the trimmings from boards used for making boarders in framing pictures.

The subjects of black and white were mostly taken from old B&W pics.  of the old Georgetown scenes. Some were taken from Dr. Ooi's Book called Little India while others were from original pictures  that were given to me by friends.
