A Watercolor Sketch

Charm

Quick sketches have a charm that a painting does not have. As we draw a location, we are there feeling the environment. Even if we are plein air painting, as we process all of it onto the canvas, the charm element is gone. 

Capture the charm

    1. Jeanie,
      Mood is s good word to describe a sketch. I think with paintings, the mood transfers to the image detached from the artist.. A sketch holds onto to us.

    It is a nice spot for a good sit down when the wind isn’t blowing. .
