Hanabi Taikai (花火大会) or fireworks festival is held in Summer and showcase a fabulous fireworks show that lasts for about one to two hours. I really love this festival because I can dress up in yukata, have one or two cans of beer haha but of course, the best thing is to be able to share those things with my friends. And as what usually accompany a festival in Japan is street snack and game stalls lining the streets.
The sketches below are from the reference photos that my friend took during Hanabi festival in Yokohama, July 2008.
Now that I'm not living in Japan anymore, I miss this festival the most. Well, I guess the next visit to Japan will be in Summer then :D

Yeahh, my first post in this new blog of mine and every post will be about art! How exciting.
Well, to kick start this blog, here's a sketch from a Europe travel booklet. Never been to Europe before so my husband and I are planning to go this year. Can't wait, to sketch a Parisian street, canal in Venice, bistro... I want to capture the moment. The thing is I'm not that confident in sketching people, so I still need lots of help in that area, hence, I will be joining a 10-week watercolor workshop started next week. Practice, practice.
