On another note....
I went out yesterday and shot a few pictures of the landscape right by my house.
The mountains were covered with a thin layer of clouds
and everything seemed very serene.
The irrigation ditch neat my house.
There are really cool trails heading up to a waterway that overfills with runoff from the river when it rains.
No ducks today.
This is about three streets over from me.
I think these are apple trees.
Not sure what the grass is, I know there are some spent sunflower plants in here.
There is beauty, even in the winter.
Even though this looks dreary, I think it would make a nice painting!
I wish you'd explain how you do the line work. How you decide what to outline etc. I know most of it is just freehand and imagination so probably can't really be explained but I always wonder now did she plan for that to be a flower or did the flower just emerge once she started doing the outlining? I see the flowers the initially but then it's filled in with just dabs of color but then the line work brings out all these flowers and leaves just like magic. Frustrating for me as I always try to figure things out logically.
