We’re starting a new project at college – fractured landscape. I’ll be posting progress here. The first part of the project involves collecting images, including sketches of landscape. This is my very first attempt. I thoroughly enjoyed myself sitting high up on the moors, listening to the strange mix of curlews, skylarks and new lambs calling. However, I realised that I just don’t have the mark-making repetoire needed to tackle landscape in pencil. This is also a difficult sketch to scan, as it spans two pages of my A5 sketchbook. However, it is a beginning which is the main thing!
COMING ALONG VERYV ERY NICELY!!
Great Sketch!
NIce start….how about more darks and lights…to differentiate the foreground?
I feel something lacking , may be add some detail and contrast would be nice , it look kind of flat. But nice try 🙂
Plein air sketching is a real challenge but your first go is really good, Carol! Can see in this sketch how mindful you are of the need for a mark-making “shorthand” – even if you don’t think you are achieving that yet.
… PS. Sorry for misspelling your name.
I think you’ve done really well with this. the only suggestion I’d have would be to maybe emphasize the darks a little more.
