I finished a new large #watercolour #drawing. It's probably the most detailed drawing I ever made.

The main figure in the drawing is based on a picture I took at the Gion Matsuri in #Kyoto some years ago. It is a dancer performing the old Japanese court dance "Ran-Ryo-O".

I used Derwent Inktense and Conté Aquaralle pencils as well as watercolour paint (various brands). The paper is Arches 56cmx76cm 300g/m2 rough watercolour paper.

I finished my #drawing, on the last day of my holidays! It's the first time I've done such a large #watercolour (50cmx70cm). It's based on a picture I took of a lotus in a pond in a temple (萬福寺) near #Kyoto. #art #mastoartDetail of the lotus pond watercolour

Last one for tonight, taken on the beach (no, really!) at Loch Morlich, just after sunset.

The top of the Meall a'Buchaille. It was so windy that just keeping upright was a serious effort. Still, good views -- and the closest thing so far to a selfie ^_^

Once again, the path-makers exerted themselves for our benefit.

The Meall a'Bhuchaille has a nice conic shape (when viewed from the right angle), so you can easily recognize its shadow cast over the forest by the afternoon sun.

The Cairngorm mountains on a late afternoon in November.

The camera in my old mobile doesn't do subtle, but sometimes it's effective.

This is a small loch in the Cairngorms called Lochan Uaine, "Uaine" means green in Scottish Gaelic.
I forgot my camera that day, so these are taken with my old mobile phone.

Final pictures from the Corrie of the Snows. I like the patterns in the landscape.
