8/6 creek draiwngs 1&2 / by Philip Tarlow

2:32 PM: today i decided to go to a diffent sit than yesterday to make a couple of creek draiwngs. i went behing elephant cloud up the road to where the camgrounds are. each of the campground sites has it’s own parking (just a small dirt driveway) with a path leading down to the creek. there are many more places to set up my little folding table & 3 legged stool, with some very cool views of the rocky creek.

i made two drawings and, unlike yesterday added some color with a few colored pencils. both drawings are simpler than yesterday’s, especially the second one, which has lots of space and allows the viewer to fill it in. i think it’s the best one yet, and i plan on going out again for at least the next few days.
