added comment inProko Challenge Landscape Thumbnails - FINAL SUBMISSIONS HERE
Hey everyone, first time poster here. I'm really excited to join the community. Here is my series of 2''x2'' gouache urban landscapes (and a few images I used as references inspirations). These were all done with a large flat brush. I'm quite new to the medium (and to landscapes in particular), this has been an extremely educational challenge. I'm usually more comfortable with small brushes so this one really tested my patience! Thanks for the great courses and for sharing your experience.
Asked for help
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.
Asked for help
My series 'see through', from the windows of cars and from my desk, as I explore my new home. Watercolour, gouache and coloured pencil.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to attach the photos these are from so will try and make another post!
