Alive After Five #1 2017

Here are two of my sketches from Alive After Five #1, 2017

I have lots of beach sketches that were done in Florida. I used a pen that was water soluable and a water brush, sometimes things didn’t come out as planned but that’s why we call them Happy Accidents.

Last but not least….

This sketch was the final sketch for this sketchbook. It was a humid day and we found a shady pavilion on the East side of the causeway.

Sketching while boating

While we were in south Florida, we visited with my sister and her family. She and her husband had gotten a new boat and invited us to come out for a ride.

I was lucky with the timing of the evening color happening just as I was adding the watercolor. These are the same sail boats that I have been sketching, fromContinue reading “After the rain”

People live in these boats. We tried to imagine living in a boat during a storm like this. It rained so hardContinue reading “Rainy sketch and a rescue”

First Day of Summer Sketch

Good morning! It is the first day of summer and to celebrate, I did a quick sketch in my Morning Pages to celebrate the day. I like the beach best in the evenings after everyone else has run off to shower and eat dinner. I can sit and read, or sketch the early evening activitiesContinue reading “First Day of Summer Sketch”
