My travels brought me by one of my favorite spots today, the cascades on the Thousand Acre Brook (I looked it up, that’s the correct word – cascades; a series of small waterfalls over steep rocks). It was a lovely day and the bugs aren’t biting yet. I was thinking of using this scene for a large scratchboard, so I took a few pictures and then I sat down to draw for a while. I picked up this technique of smudging the pencil with my finger to get middle values from my life drawing sessions and I’m beginning to like it a lot.
