Field Drawing

I don't have a photo of the current painting, but I have this drawing I worked on 2 weekends ago. Malissa wanted to venture around Shaker Town a bit so I sat on some rocks and drew this tree by a stream. I usually set in my living room working on a drawing for hours before I paint it. This was just me out in the field drawing for about an hour. I used to do this a lot, but it's been a long time. I have to work fast to get all the information on paper. Not my best field drawing but it is the best I've done in a long time. If you want to feel closer to nature, draw it. Even with a bad drawing, that level of observation pulls you in to the landscape. Try it sometime.
