Not sure, perhaps some of the Japanese series paintings.
The thing with ink and watercolour that any mistake means having to redone the work from scratch, and in this case it is even more fragile as it’s made on Japanese thin paper.

The shops in Haifa and in Tel Aviv Jaffa seemed to all run out (or don't carry) watercolour varnish, so I went to Jerusalem, going to the art shops there for the first time — "Art Set" and "Artistic Hands", both near to each other because both are near Bezalel art academy.

Among other things, Bahrain National Museum has in their exhibition of books some example of writing material. Unlike East Asia where the writing is done with the brush, or Europe where it was done with a bird feather pen, wooden sticks fashioned as pens were popular in MENA.

Noticed this bear in Nahariya, thought it reminds me of Berlin, and indeed, turns out it's a bear painted by "A.Wolff" to commemorate partnership of Nahariya and Berlin Tempelhof-Schöneberg district. Among stuff drawn there's Tempelhof airport and the memorial to Berlin airlift.

Вопрос подписчикам из России — если открою Бусти с хайрезами, и с отправкой почтовых карточек с картинами, будет кто-то интересен?
Проблема, что для почтовой карточки раз в несколько месяцев минимум в месяц должен быть 650₽, иначе никак не получается по материалам-маркам.

The bottle was from a pine resin shampoo and it was a sudden idea to make, and also a sudden idea to publish it today. The resulting front side almost looks ceramic.
