Canyon Sketch

Canyon Sketch – Watercolor – 8.5 x 11 inches.

Many artists skip sketches and preliminary studies. I don’t feel I know anything about a subject unless I’ve drawn it, sometimes more than once.

This sketch is the third of several I drew from a narrow bridge above the Bear River not far from where I live. I used to paint rivers a lot. Finding this drawing in an old sketchbook reminds me that I ought to draw them more often.
