Description

This sketchbook contains 59 pages of graphite drawings and 16 watercolors made at various locations on Cape Ann, Massachusetts.
A colorful watercolor and graphite landscape on a horizontal sketchbook spread depicts figures as bright red, yellow, and blue dabs across a rocky shore. To the right, blue water edges the land. Behind a white fence, a gray house and a reddish-brown home with a blue window nestle among green trees with loose brushstrokes. A red flag flies against a streaky blue sky, while dark graphite outlines define the energetic scene.
