Shaley Shores (Coloured Pencil/Pen & Ink)

I was inspired to create this (Coloured pencil/Pen & Ink) piece because of the numerous layers of shale on the shoreline of Georgian Bay while hiking on the Bruce Trail in July. Behind the tree line is Owen Sound Harbour & you can take the ferry over to the island. Coloured pencils were used for the sky, water, trees, boulders, and shale layers. Pen & Ink work used for the deep shadows in the trees, boulders and water reflections. Small dashes were used to show water movement & waves coming ashore off the bay.
