Another sketch from my sketchbook. I used ballpoint pen to sketch it out and watercolor from my small traveling palette. I love the bright colors of this IKEA umbrella. It even makes a rainy day more cheerful. I thought an umbrella sketch seemed very appropriate considering all the rain we've received lately. I added the color splashes after I finished the sketch and I think this time they took on a look of rain drops.~ In landscape painting the thing that is of importance to artistic expression is the "landscape sense," a sense that makes us feel the weight of the mountain, feel the float of a cloud, feel the rhythmic read of a tree, the hardness of a stone. If we do not feel these things about a landscape, we miss one of its biggest qualities. ~ ~ ~John F. Carlson
