Only three sketches this week and rather quick ones.
Still trying get better with cross hatching. I have recently bought a very inspiring book 'Sketch' by France Belleville - Van Stone.
I have finished reading it this week and I will go back to it many times. This lady is my master of cross hatching and amazing sketcher. The book is really inspiring, full of beautiful illustrations but also very honest. I highly recommend it!
I have also finally bought a scanner! After a long research I've decided on Epson V600 and although only started with it, I am very impressed by the quality of scans, especially with my watercolour paintings on rough paper (will post some soon). This scanner uses something called CCD technology, which means it does not detect the texture of the paper so I don't get all these horrible shadows and grey spots which are impossible to remove without using the quality of the painting. Although it is only A4 scan, I am able to half scan my A3 watercolours and then magically photoshop glues them together for me! Really pleased.
