I went out today for a walk and took my sketchbook with me for the first time. This time my efforts are park centered instead of buildings. I leaned against a fence to draw.........
The sketch done on-site. I used MarcTaro Holmes' technique of using a single line to define my base with the rocks & stump. It made visualizing SO much easier. From there it was easy to place the dominant trees (the house ended up too big; it's really farther away, but, oh well)
With color added with Inktense
I find it a little harder to blend Inktense than watercolors, but I drew on thin paper that doesn't hold up to watercolor.
Continuing on my walk, I went to the disc golf course and this giant triangle tree caught my eye:
Drawn on-site; Inktense color added at home. Again I used Marc Taro Holmes single line horizon idea and it made a great top line to establish the rest of the sketch.
Sketching continues.........
