Just Sketchin' - Walking in Grassland

I've avoided other artists work as inspiration for my own, but changed it up recently. It's been like a self-directed course- observing how color and light are handled by another artist. It's quite fun, and I'm glad I switched it up. 

Playing with Something New

I'm recreating a painting I saw awhile back - this is only a piece of it:

It's surprised me what good practice it is- I'm reusing skills I haven't touched in quite awhile, remember rules I should use all the time and amazed at the talent the original artist had to create the piece. Learning things I didn't know, I mean. 

It is a new thing for me- copying another artists' work. New things are fun. Good thing to recall after a year of new things that were not fun.
