Beach Week - Part 1
We are at the beach this week with friends - who we met in the 1960s. There are early morning beach walks, afternoon pool swimming, and lovely dinners on the house patio. Three of us sketch together, so we are creating visual journal pages and having great fun doing "labs" from Carla Sonheim's new book entitled Drawing Lab.
These are the visual journal pages from Mon-Wed. Mon and Tues we went to the beach. This morning we had a huge thunderstorm just as we were leaving and we spent the morning in the sunroom identifying bugs.
I'm taking photos of my journal instead of scanning the pages, so even the white bacground is slightly blue....

Lovely sketches. They're so delicate and really beautiful. But please stop mentioning the title of books - I had to go and buy it :-)
