Sketches 35-Hmmph
Hmmph |
This week some sketches. Bank holiday here and a day off. Caught Johnderekmurphy on Twitch today doing some practice work and followed along. The first three are from that session.I got some ink so I have been doing a bit of traditional sketch work. I have a another book where I am sketching and studying anatomy for a while now. I find it easier to do those studies in ink.

Barn
Barn |
This is prompted by a writing exercise from John Gardners book “The Art of Fiction”. It has the following brief -
“Consider the following as a possible exercise in description. Describe a barn as seen by a man whose son has just been killed in a war. Do not mention the son, or war, or death.
I thought it was a good challenge for an environment. In essence it is what an environment should do - communicate the mood without the aid of the narrative.

Landscape studies 13
Landscape studies 13 |
Went back to landscapes. These were all from photos I took. The plan was to try a few different approaches to get the structures down with the least amount of fussy brush strokes and pay attention to edges. The aim is to get better at planning things out and moving on to more imaginative stuff. I am also hoping to do some gouache and oil studies and imagination work.
