Cook and I chilling on the porch.

Just to sit on the step and unfold my sketching gear, starring at the greens makes life beautiful. Even I hated my sketch and didn't have time for watercolor that day I still have treasured moment in my memory of finishing up cup of coffee, Cookie pressing against my leg, morning, blue mountains and feeling of hope.

Got a parcel from Stillman&Birn.

Yes! I am so lucky, I got a bunch of sketchbooks to try from Stillman&Birn. So exited. Paper is so juicy and strong. Now I can embark on a new sketching journey-adventure.  Thank you!

Beginning

First page in my Moleskine (watercolor small) open to me a new world, where people seems so self complete and a lot of them draw very good. Sketching is a way to exist. To connect to reality, to people, without being too physical, without touching, smelling, brushing against a stranger. Anyway I have to go for appointment and can't postponed any longer. I wont be able to sketch in my tiny Moleskine on a subway, its too precious and I don't know how to use watercolor in NY crowd. I'll use my red sketchbook with pressed Japanese letters.
