I've been very busy this month, still doing a lot of work in my sketchbooks (started a new one about analysing different artist's styles), so the blog is looking a little neglected... But I hope it'll pick up next month. So anyway, here's a picture I did looking over the fence in the back garden, across the neighbour's garden, and to the village hall. It's a nice familiar sight for me. The idea with this one was to do a drawing that had a very detailed foreground, less so middle ground, and sketchy background. Despite it being detailed toward the bottom of the picture, I didn't know how to tackle the grass, which is my main issue with the drawing. I didn't want to do a load of untidy stems all at random, but felt that vertical lines would just be boring. So I set to work on something that might not be true to life exactly, but was more lively. A few leaning one way, then the other - like this: ///\\\///\\\I'm pretty happy with it. The greenhouse was a little difficult to tackle, sure, but I think you can see what it is just fine.
