Playing in the Waves

It is not going to be one of the warmest days for close to the end of April with the morning starting off at 21F (-6.1) and the high of a balmy 49F (9.4C) but, at least it is supposed to be sunny most of the day.

After doing the barn chores and having breakfast I decided I would like to work on this sketch of Christine playing in the waves with a stick that I had started many years ago.

At that time I did a watercolour painting of her called "Christine on the Beach" (see post on 17 April 2011) from one of the other sketches.

I started working on Christine, beginning with her hair and gradually working my way down, next by putting in the facial features.

From there I put the clothes on her upper body.

This was followed by putting the details on her right arm.

Next, I wanted to get the lower part of her dress completed, showing all the folds created by the strong wind that was blowing that day.














Lastly, I drew in her legs and feet as well as the stick she was using in the water.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and look at the artwork.
