20 minutes per sketch!? Impressive! They look like that they would take much longer to draw/paint!
Thanks Amanda :-) Yes, the twenty minutes per sketch is sort of a self-imposed time constraint... otherwise I spend to much time on the sketch and it becomes too much like a finished illustration. I usually start with my «7-pencil-lines-sketch» : four to frame the view, one for the horizon line, one for the major vertical and the last for a diagonal or perspective line. Then I start drawing with the ink pen for about ten minutes and I finish with the colours. I do allow myself to cheat sometimes :-) by using the full twenty minutes for te ink drawing and then I apply the colours later from memory, ex: the Statue sketch
Hmm, I'm not so brave to follow your 7-pencil-lines-sketch. Yet. :) Absolutely love your landscape drawing/painting. Keep the good work!
Wow ! J'ai reconnu la statue de la rue King tout de suite ! Et les autres vues... Je suis née à Sherbrooke vois-tu ! Hé hé... Franchement beaux tes croquis.
