I needed to reload my images for the correct resolution.
The painting on this blog is of Kanas Lake. We visited the northern-most part of China in
August and had a chance to see the remote national park with Kanas Lake. I used crayon-like materials to paint the watercolor. The sticks as they are called, are really pure watercolors but act more like crayons. As you can see the intensity of the color really stands out with these.

If you know someone interested in watercolors, tell them about the watercolor sticks that can be purchased online from Daniel Smith: http://www.danielsmith.com
