I don't believe that life gets any better than packing up art supplies and heading to the Great Smokies National Park to spend the day observing and drawing! Once in the park, we headed to Elkmont Trail and set up for the day. The forest was deliciously cool and damp. Our sketching assignment, however, was not your traditional assignment. We were instructed to prepare a piece of 22" x 30" paper with various grounds in light to medium values. The grounds were to be things found around us in nature: dirt, foliage, flowers, sticks, etc. What a blast! Charcoal sketches were made on top of the grounds. We returned to Arrowmont just in time for dinner and then headed to the studio to refine the drawings. Fourteen hours of art today. It doesn't get any better!
