This drawing, done on location in No Thoroughfare Canyon in Colorado National Monument, is an example of doing pleinair art while on a backpacking trip in a remote location.  I was on a trip in this beautiful area of Colorado with my two friends Dave and Elizabeth. I did this drawing one evening after we had set up camp, climbing to a high spot and observing the beautiful pattern of erosion through desert canyons. I did the drawing in pencil first, then finished it up in waterolor.
