Pencil sketches are a great way to record something you observe or capture an unresolved idea. This way you can come back to it at a later time, if necessary. I have learned over time it is best to make a strong graphic mark by pressing the pencil firmly on to the paper. These sketches are a quick way to jog your memory. Also, they advance the artist's mind with regards to composition.
These pencil sketches reference a beach scene I have been contemplating for a watercolor painting. However, I am not yet sold on the composition. In the meantime to get my juices flowing I have developed a series of sketches and some watercolor studies to spur me on.
