Sketch of the Week: Painting at the Winery

I went on a day trip to Bernardo Winery in San Diego to take a painting workshop taught by Shuang Li with my artist friend from college, Alice Picado. I am still learning to put enough value range in my plein air painting. Since it was not a grape harvest season, the landscape had bare grape vines among lush winter greenery. It was a fun outing despite the chilly weather!
