the california coast
the ocean so blue
viewed from a coastal terrace-
the sun on my back
two weekends ago i took a field trip with my landscape architecture 223 class (california landscapes) up the coast of california. it was one of the best experiences in my life. it really reminded me of the great times i had in yosemite institute in high school.
i loved the trip up the coast. it was pretty amazing to sleep out in the open, cook our own food and watercolor all day long. what a life. i really want to go camping this summer. hopefully i'll find some people to go with. i would love to take a leisurely trip because this one was pretty hectic. and taking it while still in school was pretty crazy.
here are some watercolors from my trip. more on my flickr

@lizok - this was actually for a class, Landscape Architecture 223 - California Landscapes. we used painting as a method for observing the ecology of the california coast. we went on a 3 day camping trip. it was phenomenal. but anyway, yes, i do watercolor from time to time.
oh, haha, guess i said all that was said in the blog post, whooooops!
