Meet the sketchers: Beth Bourland

Sausalito Houseboats, Ink & Watercolor by Beth Bourland

I live in the East Bay and recently completed studies in Accounting. I enjoy sketching as a way of observing and responding to everyday moments. I follow the maxim of Susan Cornelis: Keep the materials simple & portable, and be ready to sketch anywhere, anytime! I especially like marinas, old buildings and ordinary neighborhoods but I enjoy the challenge of sketching unexpected subjects.

 My current goals are to improve my figure drawing & look for creative compositions. Sketches are complete as is, or can serve as rough drafts for larger projects.
