This is the second of three drawings I made in Korakuen Garden, where I spent the day working.
This time I focused on the pond, with the small island and bridge creating a natural structure to work from. The space feels carefully composed, but still very open, with long views across the water and into the landscape beyond.
It was mid-March, and the gardens had that early spring quality — the grass still pale and slightly bleached after winter. That softer palette gives everything a more muted, atmospheric feel, which I wanted to carry through in the drawing.
I worked into it steadily, building up the marks and colour in layers, trying to hold onto that sense of quiet and space.
