Saturday, September 13, 2008. My wife recently returned from a trip to Nova Scotia. Among the many pictures she took, this lighthouse and rock formation caught my eye. This was a perfect opportunity to practice some ink and watercolor wash. Love the blue sky and the way you did that! Great sketch. Definitely not a practice. This is simply Stunning! Hope to see more SOON! Good for that shoulder you know ;-). I love your sketch.a lighthouse has special meaning for me and this one is great. View From The Oak.

Just Sketching: December 2007
http://jeffsketch.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 20, 2007. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of my blog readers! These were some of the initial sketches with 3 values applied. The value patterns show an overall mid with the lightest value at the center of interest and the darks creating the contrast at the center of interest. I was concentrating on creating interesting shapes and not "things". I created some small (6"x8") initial color studies. These also helped me to loosen up a bit before I dove in.
