A friend of mine heads the Tri-Hamlet Sketch Group and on Saturday she scheduled a sketch meeting at Smith Point Beach, the beach I usually go to. Although I am not a member of her group I have joined the group a few times. We met near the rangers station. It was very windy and my water container blew over a few times, but I was able to do one watercolor sketch outside.
Meanwhile, Jen and another woman were sketching the views from inside the rangers station. For this second sketch I joined them on the second floor of the ranger station. It was nice to have a bird's eye view of the beach.
I so admire your dedication. Water container being blown over and more than once! You did capture the moody sky beautifully and I grinned when I read the sign.
ReplyDeleteLOL Julie, thanks. Plein air can be a messy business.
DeleteYou are so intrepid, Joan! They are both lovely sketches.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Val.
DeleteBoth are so lovely! Indeed, plain air is a different story compared to studio work, but an excellent training experience - you must work much faster and to simplify both in terms of composition and palette.
