Taiwan Sketchbook. Taoyuan, Qingpu. Evgeny Bondarenko

•

Watercolor sketchbook with wide angle urban sketches of Qingpu district, in Taoyuan, Taiwan. All sketch outdoors, and coloring at home.

This sketchbook brand is "BAOHONG" I purchase in Taiwan art store, paper is very suitable for coloring. Using my favorite refillable fountain pen "Lamy Safari" and G-pen nib with carbon black ink.

Here on the sketch above, I were sitting in small park near three stations: far up it's station for elevated metro, below it is waiting zone of bus station, and on the right can see part of ventilation system from underground fast train station.

Qingpu district have three elevated metro stations: A17, A18, A19. This is A17 station. So trains are moving on this bridge above.

Here is the view from metro station. On the left far can see baseball stadium, on the front is shopping mall and playground.

Opposite to previous picture here we can see metro station from shopping mall playground. Here is very cozy atmosphere, can see young families with kids.

Medicine center where I got my AZ vaccines.

Panorama view from 4 floor in IKEA, I used G-pen with carbon ink.

Breakfast cafe, have fantastic cake and coffee.

My house basement, love to sketch pipes and cables, reminds me the Akira manga.

Another view from metro station in Qingpu. Did you notice those bird?

Wonderful "Calligraphy park". It was precipitation windy day, luckily I can hide under canopy of this Banyan trees.

“Weili Soul Studio” is very nice house of young family of artists, painter and wood maker. They making regular art workshops with invited artists to pay rent and support community.

HSR bus station on the left and elevated metro station A18 in front. I love this constructions in my district, they are so futuristic.

Night panoramic sketch with watercolor. Taoyuan, Qingpu. I was recently at the cinema with my wife and while we were waiting for the movie, I noticed this amazing view from the waiting area.
