Batu Lawi

Acrylic on paper

2021

. . .

Today, I return to using my acrylics and my sketchbook again. The main motivation behind this was the recent behaviour of the Autodesk SketchBook app on my phone, which kept on crashing whenever I added in a few strokes. There was a recent update, and from the looks of the reviews, some were pointing this behaviour out as well, so I added my own report and temporarily moved away from the app. 

Here, I have chosen a subject which I hope to one day see up close in person: the Batu Lawi formation, which is located south west of Mount Murud in the Kelabit Highlands here in Sarawak. I have seen it for the first time on a flight to Bario around the end of 2019. A most majestic and beautiful sight!
