Plein Air Sketches of Downtown Waukesha

Went to downtown Waukesha twice this week. Did a watercolor, pencil & oil pastel sketch. Sunny, no rain, in the 70s quite nice out.

2 watercolor sketches at Dave's Falls in Marinette County

It was a bit overcast, about 70F and even drizzled once. Despite the weather people were hiking, fishing and swimming in the river. Everyone was quite friendly. I first drew a rocky island then the path through the woods. Dave's Falls is a very nice park.
