A small and eclectic group set out on Balboa Island this morning for a nice day of drawing and painting. Only 5 of us, but I'm sure we'll grow! Balboa supplied plenty of interesting people, architecture and ships. Thanks to Pat, John, Margaritte and Nikol for coming out! We started out in front of Balboa Pavilion, and took the ferry across to find some shade. Last sketch of the day was from the pier. All in all, a great day!

-- you sure will as the pcitures and atmosphere seem to be loose and joyful.
Happy crawling everyone at Orange County next, again, too.
Nice work, Pat, you are good at abstracting large amounts of detail without losing readability. That was a real challenge for me when drawing the harbor.
Great sketches every one
Long time ago,I have lived Orange County, a short period of the time though, and often went Newport Beach. Happy to see all your sketches.
This Balboa Island seems an interesting place indeed! Frosti: Nice watercolours, I particularly like the last two (a pity they're not a bit bigger) Pat Reese: Good sketches too, the shading on the first one creates great sense of perspective. Snakam: Take all the time you need if your results are going to be as good as they are. The watercolour looks fantastic!
