The Flower Seller

Coloured Pencil
The Virtual Paintout is in Hong kong this month.  Using Google Street view I found this flower seller on Shung Tak Street.  There are lots of little darkened shops selling all manner of food, clothes and anything else you could desire.  I was attracted to this lady's traditional chinese dress and her bright blue hat.  She was so intent on arranging her flowers she didn't notice me!

When I see your drawings, it really makes me want to use my color pencils and learn how to make sketches as beautiful as yours.

Nice picture. I haven't tried painting anything from Google Street view.
