In progress: water soluble crayon & colored pencil
My husband and I are visiting Oahu Hawaii. The destination was not our exact choice, but the conference that he is attending is located here. We have been to the Big Island, Maui, and Kauai. Oahu is so very different than the other islands. We are not city folk, so we are a little less comfortable. We were lucky to find a really nice spot on the North Shore for the days before the conference, and that was great! I have spent my time taking lots of photos and thinking of future drawing and painting subjects. Today was the first day that I really had enough time to devote to some artwork. It is super hot in the city though, so I have to watch my materials closely for melting!

The leaf is absolutely gorgeous, I love how you blended the colours and the spots of colours. I am also away travelling in the tropics, but I am in Bali. Karen
Thanks Karen, looks like you are doing some nice watercolors in Bali! The colors in these warm tropical spots are beautiful and inspirational. I am taking a lot of photos for future reference. However, being from Maine I find the heat hard to work in! I am good for a couple of hours and then I have to cool off!
Wow, enjoy Hawaii! Beautiful leaf!
Oooh, I love this leaf. Love the way it is cropped.
