Harrington Beach State Park

Today we decided to get out of the house and go on an adventure. We met up with our friend Kathryn this afternoon at Harrington Beach State Park. It was so refreshing to get outdoors. The Quarry Lake at Harrington Beach State Park was a highlight for myself. The lake was beautiful and it had a path that went around the whole entire lake. The best parts were of course the waterfall and the light reflecting across the water (as you will see in the pictures below). The trails were also quite fun, though a little muddy at this time of the year. I am very glad I wore my waterproof hiking boots! On our hike we saw an assortment of plants growing up (you'll have to tell me if you recognize any of them), a huge group of deer, and Lake Michigan as well. I only got to draw one quick sketch on site, and then did a quick one at home as well but I was really happy I brought my sketchbook along with me. I hope the weather gets warmer soon so we can do more hiking and I can get some more sketching done outdoors. Hope you enjoy my pictures. Let me know how your weekend went in the comments.

Look at that light reflecting on the water!

My quick sketches from the hike today pictured above. Just focusing on capturing the moment in my sketchbook. Our international student Preem snapped a picture of me at work drawing in my sketchbook. She is so talented at taking pictures! I am always camera shy, but at the same time I am always super glad later on that I have some pictures to save these precious memories!

Preem also captured this amazing photo of Liz's dog, snowflake. She just loves being outside with us and she is a great hiking companion.

So many fun finds along the way. Does anyone know what these beautiful things might be? Would be fun to learn about them.

I hope you enjoyed reading about our hike at Harrington Beach State Park. It looked like they also had some great places to camp as well. I would recommend checking it out if you are the type of person who likes to camp and hike during the summer. You might just happen to see me there this summer as well.

Until next time,

Hannah

Still Life Sketches

A few weeks ago, our house was in quarantine and with so much time on my hands I decided to start doing some still life watercolor sketches to pass the time. It started out with just fruit from the kitchen and is slowing branching out to other foods and household utensils. It's fun to play around with different color combinations, textures, and the lighting and shadows of each object. I look forward to sharing more still life sketches with you and maybe some prints in the future.

Until next time,

Enjoy
