En Plein Air…..around town

This picture just represents SUMMER to me!!! Plus I bought 4 more bowls from anthropologie this month.

And this summer (for whatever reason) I decided it was time to try watercoloring on the spot…as I see it and with time restraints.  Above is a cute storefront in my town.

At the lab…..

At the mall, by the XBox One display.

At the house.

Out the back door.  Too funny, I can see that I made those tree house posts on the same level, which if I were paying attention to perspective I should’ve noticed!

At the mall in very hot weather.  I like it when I can go immediately to watercolor and not mess around with drawing in graphite first.

Speed painting at the mall…that same day.

A popular waterpark in my area.  These kids just refuse to sit still!!!  If I did this more often it would definitely help me capture people on paper better.

And my Art Supplies!!  Some of my favorite pictures are when artists draw their art supplies.
