Sketch of Demachiyanagi in Kyoto and perhaps the last of this year’s cherry blossom
One of the Japanese women sat on the hill said she’s moving to the US soon and took a snap of the painting as a souvenir.

Perfect weather for it in Kyoto.
A couple of highlights were (1) chatting with a 93-year-old Japanese chap about painting and what Kyoto used to be like and (2) a gaggle of ecstatic kindergarten kids swarming my easel/me before their teacher rescued me.

B&W sketch of the stepping stones at Demachiyanagi in Kyoto
This is down the road from Shōkoku-ji Temple (相国寺), where the Zen monk and ink painter Sesshū (雪舟) trained, so it feels right to paint in B&W around here.

@tonalvibrancy Thanks for your feedback, Jeff! I’ve been using bigger paper and brushes when painting outside recently, which encourage boldness.

The good folks at https://t.co/p2Af2Vqz4L commissioned me to illustrate Japan’s sun goddess Amaterasu retreating to a cave and plunging the world into darkness. Please have a peek/read if you have a spare moment.

In the most famous of the Japanese stories of the gods, the sun goddess Amaterasu retreats into a cave, plunging heaven into darkness. The other deities gather to try and lure her out.
