Took a quick weekend trip down to Myrtle Beach, SC to meet up with Jackie. Had a fabulous time and even snuck in a bit of sketching…
We stayed at the Myrtle Beach State Park campground. The park includes a section of beach, just a minute’s walk away from our campsite. It was pretty empty as we enjoyed a stroll along the sand.

This sketch was done while walking…![](http://french-holt.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-21-10.50.21-1024x768.jpg)
We went on, actually leaving the park, before returning. Up on the pier we had a fabulous view of the sunset. Ashley sneaked a picture of Jackie and I – the sketcher in action! 😀![](http://french-holt.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-20-17.28.44-1024x768.jpg)
Finished sketch in front of the captured view.![](http://french-holt.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-20-17.32.58-e1485190988153-1024x768.jpg)
Details of the sketch. I have in mind to add some color but am scared to. I’m not very practiced with watercolors and the paper’s a bit thin for such a wet medium. But with such a sunset it’s a shame to skip those beautiful colors!![](http://french-holt.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-21-10.50.39-1024x768.jpg)
