We recently got back from a great trip to the California central coast. I decided one day to use the wet sand on the beach as a medium for sketching some ideas. I found a stick and went down to where the waves had recently smoothed the sand and it was still wet and quickly drew some ideas that came to mind then took pictures of them. The idea was to stand there watching the waves form and crash and the surf as it rolled up on the beach and back then quickly sketch an interpretation of what I had just seen. Eventually the surf will erase everything. It was a good exercise in spontaneity. I ended up doing this a couple more times and it was a nice change from the tablet.
