Sketching At Magen's Bay, St Thomas

     What fun I had this day at Magen's Bay in St Thomas, USVI!  We took an excursion to this beautiful beach, we found ourselves a place to sit down and what did I see right next to us but a model!  This man, snoozing in his chair, didn't move a muscle and allowed me ample time to sketch him.
     I remember this sketch wasn't easy, with his reclining angle, being in a chair, the draping towels in the back, and getting my proportions right.  I used my eraser plenty, but, in the end, I was satisfied that it looked believable, that this was a man taking a nap in his beach chair. I had my picture taken sketching so that you could see my reference, remembering my

blog all the while.
     This man eventually woke up and came over to talk with us.  I found out he was from the United States, but moved to St Thomas eighteen years ago.  No more snow shoveling for him!
      Hope you enjoy this one, and, of course, there is more!! Keep reading, I kept very busy on our cruise!
