May Sketch a Day 2019-1
Inspired by Thomas Scholes, I'm participating in one of these month-long challenges! 31 sketches, 31 days! I'm looking to improve my landscape so it seems in-line with what I want to do!
Day 1 - Virtual Plein Air
Day 2 - Virtual Plein Air
Day 3
Day 4 - creative block
Day 5 - more block
Day 6 - more block
Day 7
Day 8 - from a photo. Experimenting with buildings, realized I needed to go back to value for a moment to unify buildings with landscape
Day 9 - From a photo I took in Sintra, portugal. Working on getting the buildings to feel 'solid'
Day 10 - Feeling better about solidity.
Day 11 - Contrived, happy with how the castle worked out with the rocks
Day 12 - Photo ref, much more happy with the 'weight' of the structure
Day 13 - ignored composition, and it shows. Buildings seem tighter, though.
Day 14 - Totally contrived, focusing on composition and appropriate brushes.
