'Beach Dreamer Sketch'

A5 Sketch Pad

Pencils

Finally a day at the beach paid off with a model who was able to stay in the same position long enough for me to capture the moment! Weirdly enough he woke up just as I had finished! He looked so restful with his newspaper gently flapping in the cool breeze. Of course I showed him and his wife before they packed up to head home and they both seemed happy with it. "Bello e grazie" were his wife's words. I was the one who was thankful. I found a more appropriate background to the left side of the beach where it showed the calmness of the sea.

I think I'll enjoy expressing it on canvas!
