Sunday Sketches - Beachscape

A pinch and a punch for the first of the month, not to sound too corny!

Welcome to Sunday Sketches. This marks the first entry in my 'new' art journal/sketchpad. It's a beachscape (8 1/2"h x 11"w) in watercolour pencil. It's 'new' because it's an old sketchpad I found that son K used in elementary school. It was hardly used.

Your collaborating with your son...You should ask him to sketch in it from time to time. How fun would that be? This could be a very memory filled sketchbook.;)

That must be a very old sketch pad if it dates back to your son's younger years. Lol. Have fun with it.

I love the way you captured the reflection of the sun on the water. We found a lot of hardly used notebooks when my girls moved out to college too. Blessings!

I take it he decided Art classes weren't for him. Use it up is a good way to save cash so you can buy other art supplies !
Nice coloured sketch of the sun shining across the bay on what look like a nice sunny day.
