Description

This sketchbook contains 59 pages of graphite drawings and 16 watercolors made at various locations on Cape Ann, Massachusetts.
A horizontally oriented graphite drawing on sketchbook paper across two pages depicts gestural figures in an outdoor landscape. On our left, several figures sit or stand near a table beneath a tall tree. On our right, three standing figures in long garments occupy the foreground against dense foliage suggested by dark, layered scribbles. The composition uses varied line weights and overlapping forms that extend across the center fold to the outer edges of the sketchbook.
