Bali

Some more drawings from my recent trip to Asia. These are from the town of Ubud, considered the cultural center of Bali. The area is full of artists and craftsmen, and there are traditional dance performances every night at the temples.

Between our hotel and the town was the Monkey Forest Road, which is exactly what it sounds like.

Quick sketches from a performance of the Ramayana Ballet, performed at the beautiful Water Palace. It was one of the traditional forms of Balinese dance known as Legong, with an all-female gamelan musical band. These are all very quick sketches, or course, and only suggest at the elaborateness of the costumes.
