PHOTODIARY: EN PLEIN AIR SKETCHING

Image
Today I took advantage of wonderful sunny weather to do some en plein air sketching in Split city, Croatia.  Most of the art projects I have done since arriving to Croatia have been in collaboration with my six year old god-daughter because she's really into art. I have also been spending time with my other god-daughter but with her I've done mostly reading activities. However, today I went for a walk alone and did some sketching. The weather was so warm that it felt like summer. The beach I sketched is called Firule and what you can se in the distance is island Čiovo. I drew this seascape with watercolour pencils,  so I yet have to colour this sketch. I hope I don't ruin it.  I do like this composition. What made me choose this spot to sketch were the colours. I was fascinated by the colour of the sea and the rocks. Moreover, I really like the background. Fingers crossed it all turns out well. I do enjoy working outdoors and it is fortunate that I live in a warm climate so
