The Patchogue Sketch Club met at the end of Blue Point Avenue at the dock to sketch on Wednesday evening. We moved up the sketching time from 6:30 to 6 because it is getting darker earlier. Sigh!
I sketched a view of the beach there from the dock.
Then I did a few more ATC sunrises. I have about 13 of them done this summer...maybe I can do a series of them. For these I tape them to a board with some double sided tape and paint with a regular brush, not my waterbrush. The waterbrush makes the paper much too wet. As it is it doesn't dry fast enough. As soon as I get one nearly done I move to the next one, until I have 3 going at once. Then I can move back and forth between them. The foreground is never dry enough when I want to paint it so I usually darken it when I get home and the paper is dry.
These are really beautiful watercolors, Joan. I love the pink/lavenders in the sky! Absolutely beautiful!! It is definitely getting darker faster and I can't believe it..
ReplyDeletenot that I don't like Autumn ..but the winter is too long for me!!! lol....
Some more nice skies Joan. I like your system. I think Monet used to do that with his "Haystacks" etc!!
