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

I am a strange person and I am not ashamed of it.
So I got serious about doing art.
Then I painted evil saints.
Then I painted naked saints.
Now I've bought gold golor to paint the nimbus of the naked, evil saints more beautifully. ✨

And today's paintings. I have lots to learn about acrylic paint, but I like them.
Picture shows two paintings, done in a rough style,, both depicting women with their eyes closed, head tilted backwards, with religious attire. Colors are harsh and dark.
