Paint Party Friday - Running Track


This is a quick sketch in watercolour crayon in my art journal (8 1/2" x 11"). It's based on a photo I took at the running track by a local school.  It was a sunny morning and I was grateful for the shade under the trees. Happy Paint Party Friday!

Good for you taking to the great outdoors to draw en plain air. You capture a mood in your drawing and since you mentioned running I can now imagine you running down that road. Wishing you a very creative week ahead.

There's nothing quite like the shade under a tree during a hot summer day. It'd make me feel lazy being next to a running track like that though.
