A sketch's graveyard

You know how sometimes the sky is neon pink, and you try to take a picture only for the pink to be all washed out? I have a neon pink watercolor paint and I tried my best to find it again while editing the scan… but it still looks so much better irl orz

I can't believe I've painted so little sunsets when my camera roll is actually full of them

I got extremely sick in May (still am tbh), so I got too tired to do anything but go to work (because Covid is not a reason anymore for a work leave haha) ; but now I'm feeling better so I'm going to finish the challenge 💪

We got up at 4am to see the sunrise on this temple and though it was… challenging…. it was very worth it

Last october, I went to Japan with friends and we visited the Fushimi Inari shrine by night - seeing all the gates at night was quite impressive

I admit, I used white gouache in addition to the palette for this one >_>

I tried something with the light, but I'm not quite convinced with my technique

Have you ever looked at the sheer contrast of the reddest maple tree against the bluest sky? In retrospect I could have gone with even more saturation for the sky

Trees!

More clouds! And truly one of my favorite palette~

Tried to replicate the glow of the picture and I think I did well enough

I'm realising I don't have much water pictures planned in my roster, I should dig up some more

I need to embrace textures ( ・－・)

I love when the sun highlights only parts of a building against the bluest of sky
