5x7" Watercolor Sketch, © 2011 Krista Meister
Ahhh... THIS is what Summer is all about.  Spending time on the beach.  

Another quick 15 minute sketch, no pre-drawing, just to exercise my skills.  It's not perfect, not intended to be.  Just enough to capture the essence of what I was seeing.

Fabulous sketch! I tend to like my watercolor sketches better when I don't draw in pencil first too. Love the color in this.

Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments! Lucy, thanks for stopping by and thank you for your support and inspiration when I was checking every single watercolor book out of the library a few summers ago. Its been a learning process, definitely.

I love the feel of this sketch. No it's not overly detailed but it's full of movement, you've got the right structures and you've got the sense of bright light with the light and shadows on the figure. Nice job!
