Sketching the Portland Japanese Gardens

Its been an especially wet winter this year in Portland limiting my outdoor sketching opportunities.
However earlier this month my office did a tour of the Portland's fantastic Japanese gardens in Washington Park, to generate some ideas for a design project. The weather turned out nice and I got a some quality sketching time in below are sketches done on location and water colored at home.
