It’s been very smokey lately.
We are in a drought.
For the Pacific Northwest of Washington (the state, not the city) we haven’t had rain in 4 months and have some wildfires that are likely to continue burning until the rains/snows come.
The weather has the feel of late August, very unusual for late October.
We decided to take a Hike up Mt. Baker to see if we could escape the smoke and see the beautiful fall colors (leaves turning red and gold).
I prepared the sketchbook with some color swatches the night before and then brought it with my Bic pen and one fountain pen.
The nice part of a Sketch Hike is that every time you’re heart starts beating over 140 bpm for very long, it’s time to take a 5 minute break to sketch something. (I tried to keep these quick). Next time I might also bring a red, green and yellow colored pencils to fill in some of the colors.
