PORTFOLIO 3 - TRAVEL SKETChES: Process and Media

working in Plein Air

Man painting a landscape scene outdoors on a rock.

Travel Sketches are executed in "plein air" rather than in the studio, so they tend to be more spontaneous and may use a variety of media - whatever is portable and available!

pencil

Detailed sketch of a Gothic-style building by the water with boats.

Pencil or graphite are easily carried tools for  field sketching, and, if you over do it, they can be erased!

Pen

Black ink sketch of a castle-like building with trees and rooftops.

Pen and ink, my favorite medium, hence the name Penpoint Studio.

PEN & watercolor

Watercolor painting of a lighthouse on a pier with green posts and calm water.

A travel watercolor kit with pen & special brushes allows color to quickly enhance a sketch in the field.

crayon / colored pencil

crayon / colored pencil
