day and night versions of a fantasy Shanghai teahouse! I did these as part of my assignments for an environment sketching class at CDA.
I nearly died doing that class, but it was very good practice, and the instructors and classmates are very supportive. Highly recommended if you have the time, funds and energy!!
The ref I used for the teahouse is Shuyinlou, a semi-derelict private Ming-era residence in the heart of old Shanghai, that’s probably going under the wrecking ball or altered beyond recognition soon. I’m glad I got to see the really old, dusty and dirty bits of Shanghai before they all become clean, glitzy and part of the Chinese Dream…

I’m having an art raffle over on Twitter if anyone’s into that kind of thing!
A little doodle from when I first got my Sailor fountain pen. (I’m still keeping a little bit of savings for if/whenever lockdown lifts, vaccines are administered, travel restarts, and I can zoom to Japan and buy me some limited editions)
The bonsai is based off a jeweled tree in the Shanghai Arts and Crafts museum. It’s one of my favourite Shanghai museums because it was relatively ungentrified, completely unglitzy, and you could poke about watching the (sometimes grumpy) uncles and aunties do their crafting in the rooms of an old French mansion.
