This morning, I left Manchester and drove to York with several of my sketcher friends from Hong Kong. I'll be in London from August 6 to 11.

Here's the video for the last day of the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Manchester. It was great fun sketching, and talking to everyone!

I forgot to post the video from the second day so here are both days. You can follow my updates for the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Manchester at https://twitter.com/ParkaBlogs and #uskmanchester2016

Today, we have the registration, sketchwalk and reception for the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Manchester. #uskmanchester2016

I've arrived in Manchester! First thing I did was to go out looking for other sketchers! Here's the video below:

I'm surprised I was able to upload a video using my hotel's free WiFi which is so unstable! Gosh, looking at how slow the upload speed is, I'm not sure if I will be able to upload videos daily. I'll try my best.

Here's another fantastic deal on Mission Gold Watercolor.

At the time of this writing, this 24-tube set is selling at USD $88. Each tube has 15ml. And there are two additional 7ml tubes.

Just for comparison, Daniel Smith's cheapest 15ml tubes are usually around $12. To buy 24 tubes individually, we're looking at $288. And this set of Mission Gold Watercolor is selling at just $88. WHAT?!?!?!!!!!!

To build a portable set, you can get an empty watercolour box and empty pans, and you can refill the pans 7 times with the 15ml tubes. This is an incredible deal.

What is pure pigment? These are all single pigment paints. Here's the paint info: https://www.mijelloart.com/pure-pigment-color-set.html
