It's one of my favorite places in California and I look forward to it every year. This time I did something different. I usually take the trip and leave any sketching/drawing tools at home. Get away from it all and just get out and enjoy nature. But this time I decided to bring along my pastels. Which was a blast. I found it very relaxing and calming to stop for an hour or so and just take in the view. The spot we camp at has this incredible view of a mountain range known as "The Needles". I tried to do a couple studies at different times of the day.<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3cT4kJoHTem8wuJwMRnQBxIwaYdRyUyTeOe8unSaGw4zNukEdnDD0S68FI5tipuA5fiPaVkVCVmAgPNXA-ZU_8FgnRr8xTBZVpSWXrmi_HEh0FspcQxRQjkCIGC0xnHUxKE5y/s1600/2009_kern001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 223px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3cT4kJoHTem8wuJwMRnQBxIwaYdRyUyTeOe8unSaGw4zNukEdnDD0S68FI5tipuA5fiPaVkVCVmAgPNXA-ZU_8FgnRr8xTBZVpSWXrmi_HEh0FspcQxRQjkCIGC0xnHUxKE5y/s400/2009_kern001.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452637348016408434" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxsJboNPk43Ch01ECJJZqOVdpuS_LcOUxlHnvOpRnggb3yIs2D7C6AB2_SSjAscCHWOUKPEgR0B5_fNi5S-bW7TmCORk95RHM7Z9tcOu0GzCsMSPoSxw_2yUcI5-M61fn78Z-F/s1600/2009_kern002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 395px; height: 228px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxsJboNPk43Ch01ECJJZqOVdpuS_LcOUxlHnvOpRnggb3yIs2D7C6AB2_SSjAscCHWOUKPEgR0B5_fNi5S-bW7TmCORk95RHM7Z9tcOu0GzCsMSPoSxw_2yUcI5-M61fn78Z-F/s400/2009_kern002.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452637337955700242" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBwD8uhialDxZnlpE4xsF5nll6y1RYAknxSz1l9t_4hVUkCfXKq1KfmoYxVKJZzAHYGVSSoD0NAExCZrWHHVtTO5gNDZNTI36OEfHNSNo0QpmREIlKvFwu3ltx8ZRnr0wnOwEC/s1600/2009_kern003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 232px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBwD8uhialDxZnlpE4xsF5nll6y1RYAknxSz1l9t_4hVUkCfXKq1KfmoYxVKJZzAHYGVSSoD0NAExCZrWHHVtTO5gNDZNTI36OEfHNSNo0QpmREIlKvFwu3ltx8ZRnr0wnOwEC/s400/2009_kern003.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452637331531457266" /></a><br /></div>Kmannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01655712013316170948noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17982790.post-541480030662908582010-03-24T10:08:00.000-07:002010-03-24T10:43:45.532-07:00LAKE ANZABill took us out a couple times to study water and reflections.

One of which was a Pastel Painting class taught by the talented Bill Cone. If you don't know his work, go out and buy an "Art of" Pixar book. He's the best. Check out <a href="http://billcone.blogspot.com/">his blog</a> when you get a chance too. The above painting is one I did on my own while taking his class. It wasn't until then did I really find any comfort with the medium.
