Using the image below create a sketch as a precursor to a line and wash painting or critique both images and decide and explain which one you would take forward to become a line and wash artwork.
Things to Consider :-
What compositional elements will you leave out?
How will you simplify the image?
How would you change either image or better still draw your own version.
Where is your horizon line and why?
Here is a nice little sketch exercise to get you started in the Club.
Its a photo I took just a few weeks ago in Alicante. I thought it would make a great compositional challenge for the Art-Club.
The exercise.
Produce your own sketch taking into account elements such as light and dark, focul point, perspective, simplification etc. In other words make it ready to become a water colour.
When complete post your versions including a brief commentary on what was difficult, what you left out and why.
