Santa Monica

Three sketches from a 2000 sketchbook. I watercolored right into the book, even though the paper is thin and meant for pencil or pen. I redrew the sketches on watercolor paper, but they didn't come out as well as the originals. I find that often - that the spontaneity of a sketch is more interesting than a careful, planned drawing. It seems especially true if I'm using sketches for a more finished work.
