I started off sketching from a quick 6 mins impressionist sketch at the jetty while waiting for our ferry to go to Cockatoo Island where ill be meeting the fellow Sydney Urbansketchers whom i met during our USK Symposium in Manchester in 2016. They had arranged a sketchcrawl to accomodate me being there and introduce me to interesting places in Sydney how sweet of them. ☺️

Rooi Ping Lim with a bunch of them turn up and the weather was perfect when we was there. Cockatoo Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located at the junction of the Parramatta and Lane Cove rivers, in Sydney Harbour where the have all these wonderful historical warehouse and cranes. find out more about it here! >> http://www.cockatooisland.gov.au/

So this was what i did in about an hour...

It was definitely a memorable session. πŸ™‚

After the sketchcrawl we continued sightseeing in the city center and stop for a quick sketching a couple of time in Darling Harbour with my siblings.
