I saw Maldives from the plane and I saw Maldives from the boat. It looked wonderful but I am sure very different from looking at it from the shore :)
All my time in the Maldives was spent aboard a scuba diving vessel where everything was organized around diving activities. It was a very spacious Soleil 2 filled with people who share interest in underwater adventures. We had three to four dives a day, a comprehensive briefing before each dive and in between we were sleeping and eating. When I was able to spare time and energy from these important activities I tried to squeeze a sketch or two - but all I saw was sky and water :)
The colors were amazing, constantly changing, and frustratingly hard to translate onto paper - which means that I kept trying :) Drawing on separate sheets proved to be a mistake as wind would immediately claim any sheet of paper that was not attached to a heavy object. Humidity was better than I expected so everything was drying really fast. I used my watercolor and gouache kit and my small pocket gouache palette.
