Trying out some Pitt brush pens with watercolour

 

I've enjoyed trying out some new Pitt brush pens with watercolour.  The brush pen ink is permanent so doesn't disturb the watercolour.

 

Inside the temple - watercolour study with gold leaf

I loved the patterned floor, decorated walls, brightly coloured fabrics and the sunlit doorway - where I have applied some gold leaf.

Travel sketches from my recent trip to the Far East

Quick pen sketches from a small temple building at a Cambodian Monastery. Watercolour added later.   It was part of a small, quiet temple.   There was no-one in it when I looked inside.  Leaves blew into the open doorway adding to its deserted feeling.   The outside of the building was pale and worn with green shuttered windows.   Inside was a patterned, tiled floor and pillars and vividly decorated walls.  

When I went outside again, I could see a monk relaxing in a hammock.
