Beach Sketch

I wasn’t sure if I should categorize this beach sketch as a still life or landscape, so I used both. The next few posts are going to be short as I’ve been traveling for work over a few days and I’m behind on my posts.

This was right before my trip to Chicago, Pattie and I traveled to Ebey’s Landing and had a very nice walk to the beach where I sat down and sketched some beautiful driftwood. Honestly the amount of detail that could be described in this small piece of wood could have had me on the beach for a month, but I kept it to an hour.
