My aim with this YOP ref was to try to imagine I was on holiday (if only!) and that I was in situ with pen and watercolours, sketching the scene. I have seen a lot of beautiful journal-type art along these lines, and I am always impressed - there's a real sense of being there, a unique capture of a moment, or an afternoon perhaps. So for this YOP I sketched in ink (no pre-drawing with pencil) and tried to capture the scene as if I was actually there...
...I think I need a holiday!
12" by 9", ink and watercolour.

Thanks Pat, I thik I need to get out and about and do more of this kind of thing (for real, rather than from a photo!)
ReplyDeleteHi Jan, thanks for your thoughts! This painting took me back to a lovely holiday of a few years ago, in the hills in Spain - happy days!
Oh and I must say you did very very well, I too admire artists who can paint on the spot like that.. in pen or pencil or quick watercolors.
