Jacaranda Tree Stop

I was a little early for an appointment and decided to hunt for a 20 min adventure on my way. Jacaranda trees are painting my life in a beautiful, lace lilac color - so the choice was obvious ;) I sketched a tree, took a picture of me sketching (while waiting for paint to dry a little more) and picked up a couple of flowers and seed pods to look closer.

I am trying to use some soapy water with watercolor since I ended up with a moleskine sketchbook again - it works much better - and bubbles are fun ;)

  1. Beautiful "sketch" - I hate to call it a sketch because it seems much more complete than that. And great tip about the soapy water in the moleskine. I finally just used mine for sketching and pen and ink and gave up on the watercolor in it.
