Watercolor Land Cruiser

First, I'm not sure if posting like this is allowed in this sub, so please let me know and I'll delete it if it's against the rules.
I wanna share my watercolor illustration of this classic. The car was actually my neighbor's, although it seems like he already replaced it with another model. Sorry, I don't know the exact model and year.

Country Club Plaza, Kansas City

While visiting family in KC, I made a trip to BLICK art store and bought a couple tubes of paint: Nickel Azo Yellow and Quinacridone Burnt Orange. Then, on my way back through The Plaza, I saw this building with the gold dome, and thought it would be the perfect subject to try out those two new colors in my tiny 3 1/2” x 5” sketchbook!!

Started with light pencil outline, then paint, then finished with pen accents. This is opposite from how I usually do my urban sketches, which is pen first, then paint. I think I like this new method.

Ideal paper for Ink and wash

I am a beginner in ink and wash. I use a permanent ink liner for sketching and then use Cotman watercolours for colouring. My question is: for my purpose, is 300 gsm 100% cotton hot press or cold press paper better? Or is it okay to use lower GSM paper as well?

Smell of Santorini Bread

Some towns stay in memory through monuments. Santorini stayed with me through bread, blue windows, and quiet staircases climbing toward the sea. This sketch is not an architectural drawing of the island. It is a recollection of walking through its white lanes, noticing church doors, uneven steps, and the smell of warm bread drifting out from small bakeries in the afternoon light. The lines are simple because memory itself is simple. We rarely remember every detail. We remember fragments that stayed with us.

The Prague Castle

So, our last day of the trip. We went up to Prague Castle to do a bit of sketching and visit all the buildings. Especially the super pretty cathedral with the stained glass windows. It was so beautiful and colorful, even though there were honestly a bit too many people 0-0 But luckily we got there early enough and didn't stand in lines for sooo long...
