Watercolours from Nepal and India

I painted a lot in Nepal while trekking through the Himalayas in 1985 and again in 1986. Many paintings were never documented unfortunately. All paintings have been created on location. I was often tempted to throw out the extra weight I was carrying over many a high pass. I am glad I didn't.

Watercolours from New Zealand

The watercolours below have all been made in New Zealand in 1986, the year I traveled through New Zealand as a backpacker coming from The Netherlands. In those days watercolour was my favorite medium. My favorite subjects: mountains and architecture.

The medium is rather compact (apart from the paper), quick, easy to travel with. All the equipment needed fits in a day pack. The works here vary in size from postcard size to A3.
