Watkins Mill Sunday--plein air sketch

"Watkins Mill Sunday" 9" x 12" a plein air sketch watercolor and Prismacolor pencil on cold pressed paper

I love painting quick, fresh washes over a colored pencil sketch! I did this one as part of a series at Watkins Mill State Historic Park, on a hot summer day. We don't often see sailboats on the lake, so it was a real treat to watch this one skim silently over the water. I think the pale waves and simple reflections really suggest the heat of this particular summer--it was often in the 90s or low 100s when I'd finally give up painting and go back to the AC!
