HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

My last sketch for 2018 & 1st sketch of 2019.
At 11pm, my family rushed to Jumeirah Beach area to watch 2019 fireworks, parked our car 3 blocks away from the site and away from predicted traffic after the celebration.

Bea my daughter led us to Fishermans Wharf to a coffee shop (Coffee & Storey) and stayed while having black tea and ice cream. Quickly grab my folded paper and start to sketch 'coz I have only 10 minutes to sketch the environment before the fireworks.

This sketch has two parts & methods of drawing.

The first part of the drawing is my family which is on the bottom right side of the frame. This was done while waiting for fireworks and the upper part was done after the fireworks. Method of sketching is Inking & watercolour.

I used Tombow & Uchida brush pen and schmincke watercolour on 300 gsm. folded water color paper.
