Forms and Shapes

The first exercise was to create some sketches which are mostly composed of lines. With Spring officially here I decided to practice with some seasonal images. Then I explored Painter IX watercolor to add some color to the sketches. |

| The next exercise was to sketch some simple subjects using one or more of the shapes in black, white and gray. I didn't color these, but may go back and practice on them if I have time. | |

We also made a horse head sketch based on shapes. This was quite an experience as I wasn't sure I'd be able to do it. Is there a way to "erase" parts when working with watercolors? I tried to re-work the nostril area but couldn't clean it up so left it as is. Actually, I messed the area up a bit, but could go back and clean the edges up. |

| I completed one more sketch and finished it with Painter IX pencils for the Introduction to Painter lesson this week. Since I based the sketching on the techniques covered in this class I thought I'd share it here as well. I have wished for a long time that I could sketch my Labs and now I think I can go back and do some digital pencil sketches and paintings of them - in time. :o) | |

There are other exercises which I didn't get to, but once again, may work them in the future. |
