Family fun on the beach

Inspired by a friends timeline photo of their son on the beach, I just loved the composition and feeling of fun and freedom in the image.

Ink pen on a watercolour pad with a little colour added for the sky. Simple. I loved the photo, it took me back to playing on the beach, balancing along a log and running free! 

I put the sketch in a mount and sent it to the parent. I love looking back at sketches like this of my two when they were little, I find sketches hold more of a memory than a photo in some ways. More of a rounded experience memory.
