Watercolor Sketching on Orcas Island

Just back from Orcas Island where I took a Plein Air Watercolor Sketching class taught by Caroline Buchanon.  Went with several Anacortes Sketchers.  We sure enjoyed our 4 days at "Paint Camp".  Here are some results of the techniques we studied.

  1. Lisbeth: These are wonderful. Your sketches show that you were enjoying your four days of sketching and had lots of time to observe your subjects. I love the simplicity and clarity of the woman sketching in the chair.
