Outdoor sketching: Blockley

I've spent last Friday in lovely village - Blockley. I took my paints with me and after a little walk I've found this sunny spot at the local Cemetery. I absolutely love English cemeteries but it was the first time I get a chance to paint one. I also liked the old building and shadows created by afternoon sun. I think I could do parts bit darker but I am quite pleased with it anyway.

Art Tutor Course

No sketches this week as sickness put me to bed and I had no energy to do anything...

Instead I want to share these little paintings I mentioned in previous post. I have recently finished an online art course from Art Tutor:

I really enjoyed the exercises, practicing step by step different subjects of the landscape painting. I was making them with notes to myself in order to remember all I've learnt and to be able to come back to it.

I think it is quite a nice collection. (I post them in order of the lessons).

Skies

Distant hills

Stone mountain and trees

Rocks

Pebbles

Sandy beach

Water

Waterfall, waves and beach scene

 Textures: pebbled wall, wood, bricks and window reflection and rusty hinge 

 

Figures and objects 

Simple landscape

Bedroom sketches

This week only two sketches. Both from my bedroom. There is a third one but not very successful so I won't share it here.

This week I've been busy practicing watercolours with Ar Tutor course. Lots of short videos about different subject. I was very strict with myself painting together with the tutor (Rob Dudley) and making little notes to myself. Today I've finished nearly the last chapter and really enjoyed these little exercises. I will upload the result here as soon as I scan all of it.
