Plein Air Drawing is Enough for me

I decide a week or so ago to try just drawing when our Plein air group got together. This way I can focus on value and speed. I actually did not complete this drawing in our time frame, but we talked more that we made art this week so our work time was cut short. That's ok. It's also an inspiration group as well.

The waves were rolling and the ocean was churning. I believe for an artist to capture this plein air, they need to be experienced with the subject in general. I think next time I will photograph the waves and look at how they are structured. They roll, with a dark underbelly and splash a white spray then collapse into a pool of light. 

There's always something to learn.
