It's always fun to sketch at Aleli's home.  Everywhere you look, there is something that catches your eye.

Kalena had a wealth of seashore treasures to sketch.  A walk down to the beach provided more inspiration.  What a great ASk afternoon!!

A Collector's Treasures

(In progress) Almost finished with this year's Sketchbook Project!

All stored in jars, baskets and the collector's memory, each small and seemingly insignificant piece has a story. She shared her treasures with us. Just like the person, the home was beautiful both inside and out.

There were views of the tidal bay with a few forested islands, a shoreline strung with beach houses, some still showing their 1950's origins and not a drop of rain as we took our walk on the shore.

Every imaginable beach combing collection was available for inspiration   

Check back for photos of our sketches of the day as they are uploaded.
