Vineyards and Inktober Day 18

I headed out to the north fork of Long Island to sketch and paint on Sunday. My first stop was Paumanok Vineyards because I know I can get close to the vines with no problem. I did this directly in watercolor. 

I needed to do some ink sketches for Inktober. The theme was overlapping objects. I stopped at Jason's Vineyard in Jamesport. First I sketched the view of the vines at the pack of the parking area. I took a photo of it and then added color.

They had a nice seating area outside with tables and umbrellas. People seemed to be having a good time over there. I did an ink view and then colorized it.

Inktober Day 22

 I headed out east of me to find something different to sketch and to see if the leaves out there had better color than here. (They didn't.) I stopped at Jason's Vineyard in Jamesport and looked for a spot with vines that was scenic. Before working on my Inktober sketch I did a small 5 x 8 painting of the vines. I didn't go in to try the wine...maybe another time.

The view of the vines was behind the vineyard building so I was parked in the back of the property. It was a nice day so I sat outside my car to paint. Looking back at the building there was an interesting view of some wine barrels that I sketched for Day 22 using assorted inks including Noodler's Brown ink, Noodler's Lexington Gray and Platinum Carbon Ink.
