Submission for the landscape thumbnail challenge. Thanks for setting this up. Done as 2X2 in. squares in watercolor/gouache and based loosely in the attached reference. My very best regards. Mauricio

These were done with Alcohol Markers and a white Gel pen. I tried first with acrylic, but those didn’t go very well. Hopefully these ones are okay. This is my first challenge!

Hello! For my thumbnails I wanted to go with an homage to the "giants that work for us" but often go unappreciated - power lines, transformers, signage, etc. I've been wanting to get into gouache for quite a while so this was the perfect kick in the pants to go get started! Thank you as always, to everyone involved for putting on these challenges.

My submissions! I did around 60 total and picked my favorites. I had lots of fun learned a lot doing these, especially trying to get some nice hue variation without losing my value organization. Thanks for holding this challenge :D

Hi, this is my submission for the challenge. They were done digitally with a circle, square, and rectangle texture brush.

Thanks for the opportunity. Gouache on paper.

This is my second submission. Last one was gouache, this one is digital. In both cases I relied on direct observation, followed by a pass or two using memory to "sweeten" the image into the one I recall. For this digital set, I followed the sun around the house in its last hour, going from window to window to capture different views and stages of sunset. I moved very fast while observing the scene, and then took more time to improve color and to try to simplify the design. I had posted these earlier to the "in progress" section, so good thing I caught that mistake! It gave me time to reevaluate. I'll post the rough versions in a comment below.
