Perspective practice

I decided to loop back into doing some basics review. So I am doing some review and did these drawings of different perspective, which is the way to represent three dimensional images in two dimensions.

Aspen Grove Study

I worked on this today, it is a study of Aspen trees in a grove.  It also is a way to study negative space, i.e. the blank shapes of white, which also show the trees and spaces as importantly as the drawn lines.

Bar Art Sketch

Happy Friday, I had a perfect Friday, I went to a brewery and drew.  Beer and art, who really needs more.  I will tweak this a bit to make better shadows and reflections.

Musee de Beaux Art, Lyon, France Fountain Sketch

So I only got to do a very small bit of sketching on my work trip.  I went to the Museum of Beautiful Art or Musee de Beaux Art Lyon.   The museum had a courtyard with a fountain made of Marble blocks.  I was able to spend a little time working on a sketch of the fountain.  I have a picture and I will work out the background of arches and trees.  I will probably do an oil painting later.
