Ahhh... after so many months of rain, cold, rain and more rain, it is finally warming up and the sun is starting to come out.  We've had an exceptionally cold and wet Spring.  This sketch was done in 15 minutes, no drawing beforehand, just straight brush to paper.  It was a fun exercise.

Here's to hopefully many more sunny Summer days to come!

This sings of spring, Krista!! The light and all the colors in the shadows are delightful!! We have already rounded the corner to full blown summer here, so your soft pastel tones are a wonderful sight!

That's almost always the way I sketch with watercolor too. This is fantastic! I just love the colors and folds in the shirt. Wonderful sketch!

This is terrific! Really? Without drawing first. Wow. I might do a flower or a simply shaped animal but a whole person!

Fun sketch! We've been having summer since April, unfortunately, but I know a lot of people in other areas are longing for some sunshine and warmer weather. Hope you enjoy yours!

LOL I had to look up where you stay - because that's exactly the feeling that I have these days.. Suddenly it is so so hot.. and just 3 days back I had to take a coat along!
Very colorful and 'sun-kind' sketch! And that you have done it with no pre-sketch is incredible!
