Quick sketching on a paddleboard is the essence of summer! I had some new colored pencils to test out for my Nature Journaling class at the Community College of Beaver County, so I took them along on a paddle with David.
We traveled up a creek, under the canopy of the forest, where I cooled my feet in the stream water and sketched the overhanging maples.
When you sketch, you don't have to include every detail. Pick out the areas of the scene that interest you, and focus on them. You can simplify the rest.
I was interested in the areas where the morning light poured through the canopy and lit up leaves. All around these bright areas were deep shadows -- a lovely scene.
I hope you take some time this weekend to make a sketch, & play with your art supplies.
