185 - Roy Nydorf - "Hilton Head Island Landscape"

Dimensions:  Unframed 7" X 5", Framed 14" X 11"

Medium:  Watercolor and ink.

Drawn on location in the low country of Hilton Head Island, the evening light of this marsh scene is captured in quick, gestural strokes of brown ink and luminous watercolor.

I enjoy painting and drawing on location in nature.  It gives me an opportunity to respond directly to the effects of light, air and weather.
