I wanted to embark on a pan-America painting trip. You know – build my own camper van, live on electricity generated from solar panels, and most importantly – staying a little off the grid to paint my drawings ideas and heart out. Though I previously lived in America for close to a decade, this dream was never fulfilled, and it is becoming more distant as time goes by.
Recently, I decided to take action and contacted various organizations for sponsorship. Unfortunately, none of them that I contacted could envision the potential of my trip, and all declined to offer assistance.
Unable to fulfill my dream road trip (in America), I scaled down my ambition and painted the famous landmarks and sightseeing places that I hope to visit in my Sketchbook. For lack of a better name for these watercolor paintings, I called these my “Perfect Sketches.” These paintings in watercolor took me more than a month to complete.
