Original watercolor painting.

I saw this old telephone box on one of our (mine and Kana’s) evening walks. Lately, we go outside mostly after the sun goes down - because of the heat.

I really liked the light coming from the telephone box and the house deep in a garden on the left side so I made some photos for future reference. This time though I used them only as inspiration to make up my own scene from scratch. I think it came out pretty nice.

I also used an airbrush with watercolor paints for some soft highlights and shadows for the first time! We have one on hand because Kana used to use it to paint her clay figurines. I knew that the Japanese animation background painters use airbrushes so I wanted to try it out too. It worked great!
