I am on the train from Osaka to Ise and am flipping through my sketchbook 📚 I will be flying back to HK tomorrow so while I am traveling on the train lemme reflect a bit what I have sketched during the whole journey 🍱
1. Todaiji, Nara. ⛩️
I sketched the great buddha inside the world’s largest wooden architecture.
2. Trying out @vivivacolors for the first time for this piece. I was sitting on the second floor of a cafe in 心齋橋☔️. See how vibrant the colors are!
3. I love capturing light effects and very often they are too transient and can’t be recorded by cameras...so I have decided to capture down the impressions and the color tones of different sunsets 🌅 so I can develop them into painting later.
4. A collage of sketches in the Shinto Shrine, Kasugu Grand Shrine in Nara. ⛩ I love every bits of the old architecture. The night lamps, the torii, the old inscriptions that make you feel so connected with nature.
5. An impression of the train-way from Osaka to Kyoto. I love the Japanese roof tops coz they reminds me a little bit of Wu Guangzhong..?
6. Ryoan-ji!!! The very iconic Zen Buddhism dry landscape garden. We felt so peaceful while painting💫 Spending a cozy afternoon in the garden sketching and thinking have one of the must-dos on our bucket-list ticked!!! ✅
Thanks for the great sketchbook Moleskine!
