  • sky and field practice

  • Maybe the wrong mix of green, too.

  • Funny the top part of the tree with background sky looks lighter and spotty in this picture, but not on the actual paper!

  • i have no idea what i'm doing

  • I'm trying out Krita, too (Linux version, I didn't think it's that different). I'm tinkering trying different things, drawing lines, filling in between lines I've drawn, making shades and textures. Today I tried some watercolor brushes to make a sky and field, they don't look much like watercolor, though. I'm going to watch more videos on using Krita.

  • This is the same thing with a darkened shadow. I did this my accident in Krita, but I don't know how I did it.

  • I've seen a lot at local (suburban) art fairs, usually in the summer, spring and fall. Even at some summer festivals they'll have a craft fair area and there is always someone selling their art.

  • I like the detail in the rocks, too. Comparing the closer area to the further shore line gives it good perspective. I'm trying to figure that out myself. I think you did well.

  • I think some of that is the photo I took, so slighter than it looks, but I'll make that a little darker so that doesn't show. I was trying to make it show different than other areas, and try to make it look more distant above the fog. I had the nearest fog darker before so that added a little more contrast. Thanks for the tip, I'll see what I can do.

  • Working on this - experimenting

  • This is what it looked like before I started adding blue and grey to the sky.

  • The texture is the paper. I'm using some metal strapping I cut and bent, the texture shows more when I'm pressing harder while sliding across the paper

  • Thanks for the ideas. I've been looking at scenes of fields (photos) and watercolor fields. I don't really see how to change what I have to give it the correct effect of depth, but I think I have an idea of what to do for a next try. I'm going to tinker in sketch book with colors and shades to see if I can figure this out.

  • Well this was exhausting. Union Place, Glasgow. Dip pen, November 2025.

  • Nicely detailed. It looks like it would take a lot of time and concentration.
