the islets of guimaras



These sketches are products of a combination of speed skitching from life and drawing from memory. because we were in a pumboat as we islet hopped through the beautiful area in guimaras, what i did is to just sketch the outline of the islets and added a few details indicating which parts are shrubbery and which parts where solid rock. luckily the pumpboat driver was clever to catch what i was doing and would slow down everytime i was sketching. later on our way back to cebu, i added the details to the sketches as i have remembered them. Kikit wrote a good post about that trip on her blog. check here for more.
