Flashback 2013: Moto road trip Hwy 1

 

In 2013, I was invited to my Sifu Jeff Chan's 80th Birthday party in LA. Sifu Chan is the leader of the Immortals Lion Dance Troup, which I am a member since the early 1980's. This was a perfect opportunity to moto road trip down Hwy 1, about 500 miles of beautiful coastline from Oakland to LA.

The famous Bixby Creek Bridge before heading into Big Sur.

The road down to San Simeon.

Taking a break amongst the redwoods.

Next moto road trip... Oakland to Chicago!

SIP-n-Sketch: New project for 11/16/20 - Cityscape with BB cables

Hi Sketchers:

For next Monday, we will sketch a cityscape with the Bay Bridge main cables in the composition. I've uploaded two images with this subject but will work on this one here. Feel free to use either image in your sketch. This image is more complex in its composition and includes elements of cars and trees that I enjoy sketching. See you Monday!

SIP-n-Sketch: HMB Haystacks, 11/2020

 

Yesterday, we finished Half Moon Bay Haystacks, an exercise in two-point perspective and landscape sketching. I hope everyone enjoyed this project.

For our next project, we will sketch a cityscape with Bay Bridge main cables, but from the underside. I've uploaded two images on Rhythmix Cultural Works' Facebook page, feel free to select either one. I will post the image I will sketch from to this blog shortly.

Bill Jeng Studio updated

The old Bill Jeng Studio website was looking a bit dated and I think Google was planning to end their "classic" sites page. So, I updated the website to their new Sites page:

Check it out.
