Cherry Blosson & Temple in Osaka by Alex

This is my first Moleskine drawing and it really took me a while. The Moleskine sketchbook is really not meant for watercoloring, but it's okay, the colors didn't seep through the pages too much.
I've never been to Osaka, my fiancee is there right now, and she took this amazing picture of a temple while the cherry blossom was blooming during spring time. I thought it's simply beautiful so I decided to paint it. It's not at all the same as the picture of course, and my manga style is showing again on this one. :) But it's alright, I like it. I'm going to spray a layer of clear paint onto it to preserve the color.
