It was really fun to draw palm leaves blowing in the wind. The painting is a playful experiment between warm and cools. #SouthPadreIsland • • • #sketch #watercolor #drawing #brianbowes #dailydrawing #instadraw #supportlocalartist #artistsofinstagram #fun #instaartist #ink #artistoninstagram #watercolorpainting #sketchbook #watercolour #MGraham #Travelgram #urbansketchet #instapassport #traveltheworld #thaksgiving #travelblog #mytravelgram #instatraveling #watercolorart #sketchbook #travellife #waterblog #fun
