I was thinking of taking my watercolors on a flight. Will I have to check them into baggage? Or can I take them as a carry on? As long as the pockets are dry?ANDROIDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429794802700560207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-89658217598417536322012-04-05T13:21:41.600-04:002012-04-05T13:21:41.600-04:00I love the thought about seeing the colorful signs...I love the thought about seeing the colorful signs and lights and how the experience was made even more wonderful and magical precisely because you were unable to read them. I believe that G.K. Chesterton said something similar about someone who could not read visiting Time Square for the first time.Ezrahttp://www.ezrasuko.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-69288522081540909082012-04-05T12:22:00.317-04:002012-04-05T12:22:00.317-04:00James, I see you brought some gouache in addition ...James, I see you brought some gouache in addition to your usual watercolors and watercolor pencils (along with your trusty Molskine). What else. if anything. did you bring in the way of art supplies. No oils, I'm guessing (?).<br /><br />Thanks again for letting us experience China through your observant eyes!Tom Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770238579550226268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-91352077049793598432012-04-05T12:10:24.335-04:002012-04-05T12:10:24.335-04:00This is really cool seeing the city through an art...This is really cool seeing the city through an artists eyes. I love that shot of all the signs and wiring. It does look like chaos.<br />Nice painting too!<br /><br />It's interesting with the people watching you. I've mostly noticed when I draw at the zoo or sketch in public somewhere people will talk to me a little but not really watch what I do for very long.<br /><br />Looks like a really interesting trip.jeffkunzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778948523420524882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-31475704165386660722012-04-05T11:23:01.287-04:002012-04-05T11:23:01.287-04:00Wow, and I thought Los Angeles and Manhattan were ...Wow, and I thought Los Angeles and Manhattan were cities.

I'm just reporting my first impressions as an artist. Blogger is not available in China, except through special networks, and I didn't have time to blog about my experiences while I was there anyway.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-1802802690554357002012-04-05T09:33:45.037-04:002012-04-05T09:33:45.037-04:00James, before you wax too positively about the wor...James, before you wax too positively about the workers in China, you need to find out about the "hukou" system, a system of internal passport controls, but don't blog about it from China.<br /><br />RichardRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17379829398318583919noreply@blogger.com
