What was after Maine's blues and greens .... Utah's red rock , varied landscape and pine trees.
What a feast for the eyes. We just came back from 4 National Parks in Utah , what a beautiful state . We hiked and I sketched the beauty of the land that God has made . Wow! If you haven't been to these National parks I would highly recommend them , Zion, Capital Reef, Arches and Canyonlands. Here are a few sketches from my sketchbook .
On this very hot day in NYC I am sitting at the kitchen counter next to the air conditioner. Lol !
These were all done with a ultra fine sharpie marker in a Stillman and Birn Beta soft covered sketchbook . It was nice and light to carry in my backpack. I met many people on the trails we were on wanting to try sketching . I spent time talking and encouraging each of them and if you haven't given it a try please do . I will be glad to help you any way I can.
All of these sketches were done quickly and simply , no more than 15 -20 minutes on each and some way less as I tried to not make my husband wait too long for me.
I did manage to find a scruffy tree to sit under while I sketched . I was grateful for it as it was so hot and the sun was glaring even with my hat and sunglasses. If I could put my whole book on here I would , seeing the world through your sketchbook is a fabulous experience as you look back you will remember all the details of your day and your trip. Until next time , enjoy this beautiful day .
