Morning class!
After a recent day out to Porthleven, I put together a video of a harbour scene sketch I did back in the studio.
I used Strathmore toned paper, started with a Sailor Fude Pen and then added layers of tone using Tombow Markers. The final highlights are white dashed Gouache.
The skill, the values, the composition, the patience, the progress, I appreciate everything, a real treat, a real trip. Thank you, and good luck in everything, Will.
Thanks Cecilia, pleased you enjoyed the sketch
Enjoyed your spontaneous use of different pen sizes and textures . Also the different values developed by use of negative shapes, shades and white gouache. We spent a great day out last year at lovely and fascinating Porthleven taking a range of photographs. Found a place at back of town that sold coffee beans ready for grinding at home later
Sounds a great spot Keith, I’ll have a look out for it.
The coffee roaster unit is called ‘Origin Coffee – The Roasting Cafe ‘ located at the back of town on way in or out – TR13 9FJ. Good hunting
Ahh, love Origin Coffee, so nice.
Love watching you sketch Will…I’m looking forward to starting my landscape sketching course soon. Thanks for posting these clips they always help me with my technique!
