A Cooling Trip to Point Lobos State Park!

A trip to the Point Lobos State Park is always on my list of fun things to do - no matter what season we are in. But during a summer heatwave which we experienced for over a week, it was a necessary respite :)  
As expected, it was much cooler in the park - in fact most of the time it was a bit too cold to leisurely sit and sketch plus the number of people was even more than usual - so most of the time I spent hiking - and had only a few short stops to sketch. But one little color sketch made it in addition to some ink lines.
Pelicans, harbor seals, sea lions, sea otters, and an amazing super bloom of coastal flowers!

View at the cove - ocean was amazingly still on that day!

We found Sea Otter splashing near the rocky beach we always visit and spent considerable amount of time observing it.

This weekend I had a glorious sketching day in Point Lobos State Park. Above are two large color sketches which you can see together with my watercolor and gouache paint sets on the image below.

More drawings and notes, as well as identification challenges are coming in the next post :)

Wonderful day! Too bad the ink is not water proof - I'd love to add color to this landscape - but this is all I had with me during 7 minutes rest after cleaning all equipment, before driving, while drinking tea in she shadow of a magnificent pine, who deserves a special drawing time :)
