I went to a hot spring spa called “Ashigara no onsen” in Kanagawa prefecture. It is in the mountain, there are beautiful woods and a stream there in the garden. So before I entered the bathhouse and soak myself in the lovely warm water, I made quick sketches using primary colors only.I rushed like when I draw food. So as you can see, my drawings become more like suggestion than depiction. I like using limited colors and to create different shade of colors by mixing them. That way, I think, give unity in the picture.

Sometimes expression is all you need. It creates a fun journey for the eye to follow in the piece.
