The next few posts are from a wonderful workshop I taught with Maru Godas and Santi Salles at Madeline Island in Wisconsin. These first two sketches are from a day of scouting for locations. We visited many sites and then each picked one each, making sure we covered different aspects of the island. This gorgeous location, at Big Bay Town Park, we all agreed, was best suited for what Maru was teaching. But it was such a beautiful spot, I am glad we stopped long enough to sketch that day.


One of the most wonderful things about sketching together at a location is seeing the range of expression and different captures of the same place through different eyes. Here are my two takes alongside Maru and Santi’s pieces.

It was just the start of what was to be a busy and super inspiring week in a gorgeous location. The next few posts will cover more from that workshop.
