A day trip to Yanagawa. Such a lovely town! ❤️

I happened upon a wonderful café where I sat for a long time to sketch. I enjoyed their astonishing garden with some hot sandwich and darjeeling tea. It was incredible 🍁

The staff was kind, fun and super friendly. I enjoyed my time there. And it filled me with a lot of energy when I left the café for some sightseeing 🥰

Found this little cute café in Chikuzen-Maebaru. Café Anone had a lot of unique tea blends. My favourite is Keemun and Jasmine tea blend. The chestnut bask cheesecake was equally good. I had a wonderful time sketching there ❤️

Material: watercolour travel kit. Midori cotton notebook.

Another sitting at Manu Coffee to get some more sketching and painting done. Quite happy how it turned out. Starting to tune in on the new palette I bought to Japan and getting used to painting again after a loooong break not painting anything 🎨😊

Finally found some time to do some painting. Found this cosy café by recommendation online. The staff was very friendly and I was there for several hours painting without problem. Great coffee as well ☕❤️

Last year I created a page for motivational sentences that helped me stay focused. This year I'll keep this practice ❤️

But I haven't decided which sentences/quotes to add yet. Any suggestions?

Not a lot of update lately. I wanted to update my watercolour palette so I've bought some dot cards to try out colours. It's hard to find colours I like that are lightfast 😅
