I also went to Joshua Tree again and I took my watercolor sketchbook with me. It was quite hard to paint there. When I was out in the sun it was burning hot, but if I stayed in the shade it was freezing cold. Luckily my friends and I climbed up to the top in the late afternoon and we found several puddles of water on top of huge boulders so we each sat next to one and use it as our water source for our watercolor(I hope no animal die from drinking it )

I still haven't figure out a palette of a sort, so it would be nice if someone can give me a few pointers. :0)
