this finity (detail)

We are back from vacations! I had a rough start in Japan getting ill, but I’m better and back in business finishing my “Yuragi” comic.

Lot’s of things to make! But first:

This year after going to Poland to visit our family we decided with Kana to go someplace that will inspire a lot of good, on-site watercolor sketching.  Usually we take some sketching equipment with us on trips but end up not doing any sessions just walking a lot and making many reference photos. This time we chose to go to Prague (because it was close) for one week and our two favorite artists from Atelier Sentō also came with us to discipline us into painting! They know their plain-air sketching regime well, so we hoped they will get us into form too!

And it worked! I got back to Japan with NINE finished sketches and one that I still have to color because we were startled by a small storm from out sketching spot.

I will do a short video about the whole Prague week on my YouTube channel probably. I did shoot some material though I was not as diligent with it as I wanted to be.  

But for now I want to show you the sketches I managed to do, and here part 1.
