Favorable WInds - Watercolor Sketch Series


Watercolor Sketch Series – “Favorable Winds” (off Myrtle Beach State Park)
Watercolor, 4” x 5”

Part of my Haiku/Haiga Mini Seascape series — each piece is a study in distillation and restraint. By simplifying form and eliminating unnecessary detail, I aim to create space for the viewer to engage — to “complete the scene in the mind’s eye.”

This idea emerged while reading haiku poetry. I began sketching imagery inspired by the words, then adapted the haiku structure to my seascape studies: three lines translated into three visual zones — beach, water, and sky. The process gave me a kind of freedom, allowing me to focus more deeply on brushwork, subtle shifts in shape, and the quiet dialogue of color.

Available $125  DM for details.
