A Weekend of Sketching

I did'nt have much time to paint this weekend so I broke out the sketch book and a Winsor Newton Watercolor Paint set my wife bought me for Christmas. Thought I would never use it, but I was inspired by another Blogger, BOWSPRITE. So I decided to give it a try. Here's the result of my first try at watercolor sketching. Painted while I sat in my car at Gorton's of Gloucesters Wharf. Took about an hour to do. Unfortunately there were a couple of Seagulls with good Aim. I'll let the rain wash my car tomorrow. Also there are a couple of quick charcoal and Pen sketches. One is of the Paint Factory with a Lobster Boat passing Sketched from the Fort Playground. The other is of the view of Stage Fort Park from the Cupboard restaurants parking lot.
