We spent last weekend in the Adirondacks. It was mostly a family visit, but one of these days I would like to go there and just paint! There is a beautiful scene around every corner. I did bring my sketchbook though. I usually don't like to show my sketches, or scribbles rather, but wanted to show that it does not have to be perfect. Just quick impressions of what you see make for a great trip souvenir, and just might help later when doing a larger painting or getting out of an artist block. I use a pen, just so the sketches can be quick without the urge to erase. These scribbles I did over a half hour (from a warm car!), and I added some splashes of watercolor later when I got home and everything was still fresh in my head.
Get out there and sketch!!
