More watercolor studies. Apologies for the slightly blurry(?) photo. These paintings are hard to photograph/scan well.

This was a lot of fun to draw because I just started in one corner and went to town. Like drawing maps when you were a kid. Here’s the old bridge, here’s a clearing in a stand of trees, here’s the volcano, etc.

I did have some trouble getting the scale of things to read – the big bunches of trees probably need more detail or shadow to establish their size. The little palm trees on the beach are supposed to help with that, but I don’t know how clear they are. Any critique/comments welcome.

Edit: Some details.

Ravine + flimsy bridge = impending drama.
