Apple-Pine: Trip to The East Coast - Part 4: More Landscapes.

On this trip, every single location was worth sketching - it was marvelously inspiring in both color and light.

All of the sketches below (except for the very last one, which was done with highlighters as a first layer and then a black zig calligraphy marker) started with a big and super quick gouache wash. Some you see as they were on location, others I finished from photos and memory, as color pencils work the best on a dry surface (especially when the paper is soft), and I really wanted to bring up some light and push back some dark parts. Now I am not sure which one is my favorite and if adding things later made such a great difference - but they all bring back lots of great memories :) Click on the images to see them larger!
