This sketch was done from a picture we took while visiting the Imperial Palace garden in Tokyo. That day the sky was like here today: grey. (But in Japan in was hot!)
Black ink and white gouache on toned paper.
In my sketch I combined two separate images: the castle, and the swan.
The ink and gouache was an experiment. I got the inspiration from a girl from my drawing class, she used to use them together a lot. ( thanks Fara!)
Planning to do a painting from this image….hopefully next week :) I really like the composition.
Finishing with laundry and cleaning up today, i hate the coming-back-with-tons-of-dirty-laundry part of the trip!
