Beach People

Beach people while visiting a friend in Oceanside, California. Fountain Pen and watercolor.

birds at oceanside marina

 

A friend of mine came down from Los Angeles and while we sat at the Oceanside Marina I drew these birds sitting on the beach. Mostly pigeons. They were drawn with fountain pen on craft paper in a moleskine sketchbook.

Exciting find

Today was the grand opening of a Goodwill store in town. I went to look for an art stool and ended up finding these instead. I think they are Japanese Seals They are really beautiful and stand about 3 and 4 inches high. They are 2 inches wide. I tried them the minute I got home. Last night I painted a sketchbook page gold and it was a nice page to try them on.
