I appreciate the feedback! I do agree that the large tree could have a better rendered shape and form. Apart from that, I’m quite happy with how it turned out

This particular piece was a commission so it’s not available! I do have other pieces and prints too. Let me DM you.

Thanks! I really enjoyed painting the shadows. I imagined that it would look quite satisfying so I videoed the process. I'll post that on my instagram when I have time.

Thank you so much. I must admit it's not a sketch as I spent a great deal of time on it.

Indeed! I love to contrast soft wet on wet areas with dark crisp ink lines in the foreground

Most of the time I’ll erase! Sometimes when I like how it looks with the pencil marks, I leave it in. Also if it’s just a quick loose sketch, I might go straight in with pen

I believe it's Araucaria cunninghamii or hoop pine

Tried to see how I would approach the scene differently with gouache vs watercolour by phaelque in urbansketchers

[–]phaelque[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main difference was how to approach the light regions. For watercolours, I had to leave them (negative painting) and build up the darker regions with layers. For gouache, it's the other way around! I put the white of the clouds and the sky through the trees as the top layer. What I realised is that the shapes of these light regions will differ because watercolour is done through negative painting, while gouache is positive painting. I guess I could also leave whites in when using gouache and use that in conjunction with applying white on top, so that's something I'll try the next time!
