Watercolor sketch of Taughannock Falls in Ithaca to prep for winter plein air painting tomorrow with oils. Using a photo I took last year, I was focusing on light, value, and shape while dreaming of summer hikes. Nice to sketch over coffee. Did you know this waterfall is 215 feet tall? 🌿🎨

A vibrant watercolor sketch of Taughannock Falls in a sketchbook, surrounded by a compact watercolor palette, water brushes, and a blue-stained paper towel. The waterfall cascades between towering rock cliffs, framed by trees and a bright blue sky.
