Still playing with watercolor washes, and this time a couple of runaway floods made me turn the paper upside down and after it dried, I worked with the shapes that accidentally happened. I like it.

I've always admired oriental art, especially the Sumi-E style of Japan and the landscape paintings from China. Recently, a coworker visited China and presented me with a gorgeous postcard upon her return. I immediately had to try it for myself. Watercolor pencil and waterbrush.

Oh, and if you think those paintings are exagerrated, check out the photos here. Amazing.
