This is my neighbours rice field and the view across the road from my garden. They plant and harvest twice a year. It's such a nice scene to gaze upon, and to listen to the cutters chatting and laughing as they work. But they work surprisingly quickly so you have to paint fast. Aquarelle is good for that, and you can work on your lap so it's a little more discreet. Always paint from life, or from your head. Leave photographs for photographers.
