Media: Watercolor
Size: 5x7 in
I didn't have much time to complete this sketch of Island Park. The sun
was setting and the scene would change dramatically as soon as the sun
sets below the trees. My brother and I were on our way to pick up dinner
and it was getting late. I walked around the park looking for subject
matter to paint and I settled on this location where the path curves off
into the distance. I started with the quick pencil sketch to make sure
the proportions and the placement of the shapes was correct. When I was
satisfied with the drawing I inked it with a micron pen and immediately
put in some washes of color in the sky. (There's a photo of me painting this on location on my blog).
