Memory sketches of storms in pencil, watercolour and watercolour pencil
Whilst stewarding at the exhibition yesterday I was thinking about storms. (Quite strange really as the weather was beautifully sunny and warm.) I've got a yearning to paint a thunder storm over the sea, I can see the colours in my mind dramatic and bruise like. It may need to be a series, the light before, during and after a storm is so different. I will need to gather some reference sketches. If you are out on a cliff top and a storm is brewing, you rush into a cafe to take shelter from the rain and you see someone sketching the wild weather be sure to say hi. It would be great to meet you.

great sketches and it would make a wonderful series - 'bad' weather can be so much more interesting to paint
and the books issue - oh yes! far too many here even though I've been trying to thin them out and send some to charity shops
Wild weather sketching! Hoorah! I once went out in a fierce east coast gale... rain so hard I couldn't even see straight or get my "waterproof" sketchbook out of my pocket. But I'll never forget the moment...
Hi Vivian, thank you for stopping by. I can't wait to see the next one in your series.
Sherrie, 'waterproof' sketchbook? I must investigate, it sounds like it could be most useful. How are the 100 thumbnails going? I might join you on this challenge next month. Any excuse for a new sketchbook....
love these weather sketches, lisa - i too have a thing about sketching stormy-looking skies but seen over the sea is even better... good luck and stay warm!
