A quick trip to the East Coast was not exactly a vacation but had some pockets for drawing nonetheless.
When I started packing my first thought was "August on the East Coast would be hot and muggy" So: no gouache (would never dry), pocket watercolor set (it still did not dry and I lost it), minimum set of markers and pencils to see what would work, some tool that I know I would be happy with no matter what and paper that would take everything. Oh - and some summer clothing.
It was humid - but quite cold (for August)! And rainy. Did I mention cold?! I saw a crazy number of waterfalls, lots of mushrooms, some apples, peaches, and berries, a great number of birds, a couple of very energetic caterpillars, amazing deciduous forests, cool shale, sandstone, and siltstones, and more waterfalls!
Here are some scanned sketches - I will be taping and gluing them in my current sketchbook with lots of post-trip notes and sharing the result when I make a video flip-through.
