Good Book

Good Book, watercolor, 6x4" (15x10cm.) Not available. This is my husband reading a book in my daughter's garden. Quick sketches of people around you are a great way to "keep the hand warm", like Sorolla recommended. I paint little watercolor sketches in the train, the plane, the car while somebody else drives, the airport, parks, gardens, restaurants, etc. Very good practice.
Good Book, acuarela. No disponible. Este es mi esposo leyendo un libro en el jardin de mi hija. Croquis rapidos de gente a tu alrededor es una buena manera de "mantener la mano caliente", como recomendaba Sorolla. Yo pinto pequenas acuarelas en el tren, el avion, el auto mientras otro conduce, en el aeropuerto, parques, jardines, restaurantes, etc. Muy buena practica.
