A quick thumbnail sketch is the way to go. If you are pressed for time, at least you can put something down on paper and return to it later. This way you can build upon your initial impression.
These value studies get right to the point. If done well you can understand the foreground, middle area and background. This way you can benefit from the feedback of others.
This pencil study was inspired from my recent trip to Maine. I saw the setting sun on several evenings with quite dramatic color reflected across the water with it's long shadows.
All I needed was an HB pencil and a piece of scrap paper. It is a great opportunity to refine your composition so that it is as simple and strong in layout as possible.
