Finally uploaded my favourite sketches from my Malaysia trip joshnicholas.com/scribbles

(Probably) the final painting of the trip. Number 28. Kuala Lumpur skyline from the hotel. Sky looking a bit ominous.

Bit of a wait for the plane

Langkawi is so beautiful and green I’m almost out of yellow watercolour paint.

Two tells that this hotel was built by Europeans:

1. no sinks in the restaurant
2. awnings don’t extend far enough for monsoonal downpours

Escaped across the bay to a new hotel

Started pouring so couldn’t quite finish it :(

For some reason beers are less expensive than coconuts at this resort (even though I am currently sitting under a tree with many coconuts growing on it)… so I don’t really see that I have a choice.

First morning at the resort

Coffee truck! Everything was double shots 😄

TIL Hansel and Gretel might not have been written if Norman Borlaug had been born earlier

A-plus sign game

My other morning scribble. Didn’t do the people’s proportions too well

Very very sunny in Penang today

First job at breakfast every morning is to get two of each tiny drink to approximate a normal drink

It’s that kind of heat

Going to miss the coffee shops when I go home

Very hard to draw straight lines when you have to stand and draw/paint

Still not quite getting enough light in these paintings

Had to retreat inside from the heat this morning

TIL McDonalds has a VIP program in Malaysia. Kept seeing these stickers on cars but finally got close to one

Last day in Ipoh for us

The Thinker™

Wasn’t able to quite grasp the scale of the lovely train station here

Some lovely old buildings in Ipoh
