On Location Sketches

I found some sketches I did the semester before last and I thought it would be fun to post them. For one of my classes we went to a local lakeside park and sketched various locations that we thought we might want to paint plein air. (I wasn't happy with my resulting painting though so I won't post that.) I think that painting plein air is incredibly difficult now that I have tried it. Anyway, I drew these on regular Strathmore drawing paper with a gel pen, which by the way, was made in Korea and was one of the best pens I had. I've noticed that most pens (even cheap ones) from Asia are really some of the best to sketch with.
