Straight From My Sketchbook

When I travel I always bring my favorite watercolor kit that allows me to paint in almost any situation. While I was in Morocco I made sure to bring them since I knew I would want to capture all of the colors and vibrant images around me. I'm a bit shy sharing my art, but I'm very proud of this batch of watercolors and I wanted to share my memories of Morocco as seen directly through my eyes.

These are in chronological order, starting in Rabat and ending in Marrakech. I would either find a way to paint a scene or two during lunch or snap a picture and work on it later in our hotel room or on the bus. Excuse the quality (I should have scanned them).
