By Kumi Matsukawa in Kanagawa, Japan
I was determined to go out for sketching using primary colors only today. And I brought quickly customized palette filled with only red, yellow and blue pigments; headed to Yokohama Minatomirai district. There, many people were enjoying seeing blooming cherry blossoms. At beginning, it was warm and I felt pretty happy, I thought I can make the most of daytime. But soon the wind started blowing hard, that kept flipping my sketchbook, blew away my hat and pallet, and I needed to chase these items several times while drawing... I should have brought much stiff pallet, some clips to fix paper, and a cap that hold my hair from blowing .... Lesson learnt.
This is my today's palette and the way how I started.

At this moment I felt chilly and decided to stop drawing. As you can see many people started leaving.
