It’s been hard for me lately to find a good balance between my job (work) and painting (also work). I visited the AGO and did some quick sketches - getting back into the habit of drawing things I see.

My sketch of a painting by Pan Yu Liang, at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing.

When I visit a city, I always go to its art galleries or museums. 

My method of viewing works in a gallery was influenced by one of my art teachers from highschool: first, I’ll quickly go through the entire exhibit; then, I’ll go back and take a closer look at pieces that stood out to me, read its label, maybe take a few photos on my phone; finally, I’ll take out my sketchbook and really spend time with my favourite works, making quick sketches or notes to myself. 

There’s not enough time to look at everything.

Loneliness is dangerous. It’s addicting. Once you see how peaceful it is, you don’t wanna deal with people.
