Sketching at the Beach

I recently won a Stillman & Birn hardbound Beta Series journal with 180# paper and have decided to dedicate it to water related images.

The paper is sized and I'm enjoying how watercolors lay on the surface - almost like hot press paper. There is a little bit of tooth to the surface but the Micron 01 pen still glides along.

I'm one happy camper :)

  1. I love what you did with the text on the rim. Sigh...the pic brings back memories of summerweather. Over here we are still waiting for that (for 2 years now) .....so thanks for sharing :-)
