I went recently with Kana to the close to our new studio museum of old Tokyo - Fukagawa Edo Museum. This is a fascinating place for us because it contains a recreation of a few small old Tokyo (Edo) streets with some buildings you can actually explore inside. I like to go there for the architecture and because I can stroll around and sketch even on rainy days (the exhibition is all inside a huge hall). Kana likes to go inside the buildings to learn about all the people that lived there (the exhibition is quite realistic and detailed).On our last visit, while Kana was looking around, checking out some stuff for her Edo book, I sat down on one of the benches and started to do some sketches of a street corner. The lighting in the museum is constantly changing because it’s supposed to simulate a whole day in Edo in just about an hour, so I focused mostly on the lines and only decided to add the colors back at home. The paper I used here is not well suited for watercolors, so I tried my best not to overdo the painting.Tools:MD Paper cotton sketchbook0.7 B mechanical pencil (sketch)Fountain pen with grey waterproof ink (lines)Mijello watercolors -- source link
