Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA)

Keeping a box of colouring pencils and a sketchbook nearby – as artists often do – means we can draw the scenery or sketch the interesting views or objects we encounter along the way when we go out. What kinds of shops are there in your neighbourhood? Try and draw your favourite shops and then introduce them to your family and friends!
