Beautiful day at Half Moon Bay yesterday (Feb 8)! Bright skies, moderate temperatures. Sitting on rocks by the water, I completed this divided-page sketch. Try this technique, it’s fun! Use masking tape to create a few random squares and rectangles, then paint in various things you see, from small details to an overview. I find that this technique inspires me to find “treasures” to put into each space, as here with the glass and stones on the beach; a heron and gulls; and the long horizontal view of the low-tide diggers.
