I began this early morning sketch of my brother-in-law reading in the morning light on the balcony yesterday, and finished it this morning. Since we all read so much here, I would like to compose a painting that shows the vista before a reader along with and the vista from a book.
I am having fun chronicling our days but this sketch is also about trying to understand the light and colors of Mazatlan. This is a 12 X 17-inch gouache sketch on black paper.
Deliberate Sketching 
Love the combo and ratio of curves to straight lines. Love the change of colors and the wonderful shapes on the wrought Iron railing and as always, your wonderful, vibrant colors. Sending hugs!!

I love how you captured both the scene outside and what might be happening in his book.
