Sketching from the road (in a rainstorm)
I took a day to drive down to Indiana with Chewbacca for a masked + social distanced afternoon with my sister. Halfway through the trip it POURED. Like, can’t see brake lights 30 feet ahead of you pouring. Not ideal for highway travel.
I was getting a little hungry anyways (and assumed the pup would be too) so I pulled into a gas station to let the worst of the storm pass, munch on/share some popcorn, and make a few sketches.
And as quick as it started, the storm passed and we were back on the road.
Materials*:
Fabriano watercolor sketchbook
Derwent water-soluble graphite
popcorn.

The rain was intense and angry, spattering the roof of the car with what sounded like hail from time to time, but was just heavy heavy drops.
The best kind of storm.
I made a few contours of the rain as it fell, the streaks it left on the windows, the ripples in the puddles on the asphalt.
