This small chinese bakery on Ave.U is one of my favorite places to get chinese sweets, like SeeUBee( this how it sounds in Chinese, I was told), round flat things made from raw rice flower and filled with black beens. You can get it only early in the morning, so when Inna was in school I use to go there more often after dropping her at 7 a.m. But today I was lucky to catch it early. Its always crowded and swarming with never ending construction and construction people. Also It is my first page in water color Molly, feels too small, even it says large.

I still cant pass car inspection for some weird reasons, so being fed up with driving and technical convos with men, I stopped somewhere not far from the shop and sketched quiet street with golden leafs. And if I’ll finish cooking pumpkin kasha I can consider this day as positive.

Trying, always trying. Inna. Used acrylic ink: sienna and umber.

Our menagerie. Pig is wearing a hoodie, sleeping beaut. Water color Shin-Gansai and brown ink.

Boat red line. Tried to put brush pen with diluted ink to use. Unsuccessfully. So had to add a bit of watercolor.

On the way home from work I stopped near Canal and did quick sketch of the boat Sheryll Princess. Main thing I wanted to try this shedding waterbrush, I filled with diluted ink. I wanted some light tone fast and defining ink brush. Gotta find something comfortable.

Road in Tannersville. I was send to pick up chinese soup, but instead I stuck for a while doing this watercolor, because I felt I wont get the chance to draw, dealing with all this renovating problems. So at list this day was not lost completely. Bijou (not lost or stolen), couple of brushes and songs by Chromeo and Pinker Tones.

Quiet street in Brooklyn. Watercolor in pocket Watercolor Molly. 3 brushstrokes with Kolinsky, the rest with waterbrush and something else.

Emmons ave. View from client’s deck. Raining. Bijou watercolor box and water brushes.

This place used to be cool for burgers, round fries with cheese and orangeade, but now “Five brothers and fries” in Kingston overshadowed it. When Inna was a meat eater we liked to go there. Now I was lonely chewer, gazing out of the window and drew my leftover with new Bijou watercolors. I was mad nervous. It got dark too fast. Should I use a pen over?
