A Young Lady Sketching
10x14" watercolor on 140 lb. Kilamanjaro white.
I think I have been thinking about this past summer a lot here lately. Ann took a photo of our daughter sketching next to Bass Lake right outside of Blowing Rock, NC. I always loved this photo and kept a little printout of it pinned to the wall of my studio. So here's a quick little watercolor sketch of her (I've been needing to get back to work!) based on that photo and warm memories of our outing last May or June. Stay warm and happy 2010 everybody.

I love this sketch. Great colors and brush work. It takes me there..
Gary, this sketch flows so well, it looks very natural and you captured a lovely moment and scene.
I always enjoy your figure work and how easy they appear to be. I'm sure your daughter will treasure this.
Happy New Year.
How delightful this study is. You've captured her fragile youth in the most compelling way. I hope you'll frame this up.
See you in Corsica! ^_~
I love the details you included in the blanket! What a lovely painting of you daughter, and how nice that she sketches along with you too!
Thank you so much for your latest comment. I do feel I've improved. I hope to one day be able to paint as well as you! Thanks for the encouragement!
beautiful sketch
Very pretty! Beautiful greens, deep shadows. It makes me want to look over her shoulder and watch. Great job, Gary.
Thought I had left a note about loving this painting, particularly the colors of the paintbox.
How fortunate you are having two lovely models in your home! What a special memory you've captured with this painting of your daughter. I especially like the way the light kisses her fingers, cap, arm, etc. Outdoor greens are so difficult for me and you have no trouble at all! Lovely painting! She will cherish it!
