Sitting all alone on the far side of the fishing pond, I found this adorable little hut nearly overgrown with some kind of vine. It was calling to me, so of course I had to respond! I loved the frivolous red metal fence posts. Kind of like they were saying, "Look at me, I used to be important!".
It was so cold this morning that I wasn't able to put any color in my sketch until I got back to my car. Then I went too far and overloaded it. Again, this is on the far side of the pond in Columbia Park near the dock but looking the opposite direction.
I love your Hobbit House. The red fence standards do look like they are trying to define something! I do not think that you have too much color in your "far side of the pond" piece.
ReplyDeleteSee you next week at sketching, you may not see me, 'cause I will be studying transparency in tapestry with Sarah Swett on Saturday. lol
I really like how you used the color to highlight the hut and the great black lines telling the story of the weeds around - not to mention the words as well! I think finding the actual color that is there is just as important as finding the actual lines - it's amazing all the colors you can find! The second drawing is a great illustration even though it really pushes the color I think it's really successful.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say, these are great you have such a soft and accurate touch with a pen and watercolor.
ReplyDeleteThank you all! I love the encouragement
