I love photographing old, rusted and or wooden sheds, and I’ve taken quite a liking to sketch and paint them. I think I am improving, and at the same time I’m endeavouring to ‘loosen up’ my sketching style.
The following two sketches are not of any particular sheds anywhere; they are just random images I did.
Materials:
- 300GSM 100% Cotton paper sketchbook purchased from Amazon
- Kuretake Gansai Tambi Japanese Watercolours
- Sumikondo Japanese Ink Watercolours
- Daniel Smith Watercolours
- Neef brushes
- Aqua Wash brushes
- Pigment Liner – UniPin 0.03 & 0.05
Till next time!
