Next Sketch Outing
Saturday, Nov. 9: Pt. Townsend (ad hoc)
One I liked and one I didn't like
Sometimes the weather does impact your sketching ability. When your view is in a place not protected by overhangs it is hard to get in a good sketch. I liked the view point of my first sketch and started sketching, however the rain started coming down and I had to get back in the car to let the page dry out. I proceeded to add water color and then used my Hero pen to reinforce missing lines over my sketch. That was a mistake the sketch got overworked and I wasn't happy with the line quality. Learn to keep your self from doing too much.

I then went to the Historic officer's quarters to sketch the officer's housing. Found a nice place under a fir tree that gave me fairly ample protection until is started to blow rain....so I moved into the car once again to add watercolor. This time I left the original line work. I liked the final outcome of this.

Well, the second one IS perhaps more elegant - I especially like the treatment on that row of windows and the weird shades - but I think you're too hard on yourself on the first one. Great color there, esp. on the blue|rock wall. That being said, I have a lot of respect for your posting one you think you messed up!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell the difference between the one you like and the one you don't -- they're both terrific!
