Sketching in rocky shores
For inland living artist sea and it´s shores give endless inspiration. I usually paint at home so I have to do sketching or photographing interresting subjects. If I find smaller interresting rocks, branches or plants, I often take them to my home. Many times I have plan for a painting in my head years, before I am ready to paint it. Then all sketches are waluable help.
I had a change to spent couple of days in Finlands shouth coast studying rocks, plants growing in cracks and small ponds of rainwater.
Gneiss and granite forms interresting patterns.
