Plein Air Painting at Casperson Beach

Snowy Egrets, Casperson Beach
Watercolor, 8 in. x 6 in.

Casperson Beach in Venice, Florida is a quiet, uncrowded beach. It's a great place for plein air painting. These egrets were standing in the shallow water for a long time while I sat near them sketching and painting with watercolors. Sharon Guy Art

Studying Seagulls

Study of Gull
Watercolor, 8 in. x 6 in.

I did a preliminary drawing of a seagull from life, then I painted a watercolor. A few gulls stayed fairly close to my chair while I studied them. They stood fairly still while they groomed themselves and took short naps.

Sketch Crawl Hudson NY

Couple of pages from my sketchbook from this week. Spent a beautiful day in Hudson, NY with Jamie Williams Grossman and Gretchen Kelly on a sketch crawl. The one on the right is Warren St and on the left are row houses on the Court Square. Hudson is a great old historic city on the river.
