An Artist's Sketchbook

Pymatuming Lake 6/15/06

Another lazy day camping. I was so comfortable lying in the hammock that I figured i would just sketch myself lying there. I like the way the compostion turned out in this one. The swooping movement of the ground gives it a sense of action even though it is a scene of complete inaction.
I noticed my sketchs this weekend have tightened up a great deal. the difference is in the pencil. Instead of packing my set of Derwent pencils, I opted to take a mechanical pencil instead. I love this thing! I have a lot more control and the light line makes it easy for me to keep the sketch loose at the same time. Definitly my new sketching pencil.
