    Art: Maikos

    I drew this on the plane from a reference photo I found in the inflight magazine. I used my thin “frixion” black and red ballpoint pens.

    Black and red ballpoint pen drawing of three Japanese women kneeling and smiling. The elderly one is wearing a simple and darker yukata and is applying make up to one of the two younger women. Both are wearing light and elaborate kimonos and their hair is done.

    Art: Studies & portrait of a woman

    The September Sketchbox contained a series of watercolour pencils in natural earthly tones, a mechanical pencil and a thin flat brush.

    Watercolour sheet where I tried out 9 watercolour pencils and drew a few figures and doodles. The pencils, a brush and a pot of water are visible on the table next to the September 'sketchbox' card describing the content of the box.

    Highly contrasted painting of the face of a black woman on cheap watercolour paper. The colours are browns, greens, blues and greys.

    One of my goals during our summer vacation was to draw, which I did enough of to feel good. Here’s a doodle that filled my small sketchbook Canson art book universal (14×21 cm / 4×6 in).

    Black ink drawing of a futuristic looking house attached to a steep hill and surrounded by a few trees and vegetation.
