Day one hundred and ninety-five: Continuing the summer theme, today’s sketch was inspired by a print made by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch in 1894. The original is titled Summer Night (The Voice), but I don’t know the background behind it. The title and the gray tones remind me not of a summer night, but rather the long, long midsummer evenings that stretch for hours before turning dark. I picked this particular detail because of the main figure with the big brim hat and for the little canoe with three people. In my haste, I added an extra tree!
