30th Worldwide SketchCrawl started out eventually despite the city being unexpectedly shut down due to political reasons. Myself and Arun went sketching around the Lalbagh Glass House which was hosting the Flower Show. There were hardly any crowds which was good as we could sketch easily. I wish I could sketch some beautiful diverse flowers which were on display, but decided to sketch the surrounding areas instead as there were so many shapes, colors and styles of flowers that I would need more than a few days to draw them all. Some sketches and photos are below. There were many onlookers this time (some of them even chatted up) which made it all the more fun.

The synthetic hair of this brush is very long which makes it fun to sketch trees
