More Urban Sketches with Shadows

I continue to work through Shari Blaukopf’s tutorials.

This week’s sketches focus on painting shadows of three dimensional objects. Shari chose three rather pedestrian objects. And yet they offer all the elements an aspiring watercolorist would need for practicing shadow painting.

Waste receptacles, also known as bins or trash cans.

I find that if I take sufficient time to make a good pencil sketch, the process of applying paint goes pretty easily.

One of six children, I was raised by a busy mom, who instilled in me a love of fabric. Though I learned to sew and knit at a young age, it was the arrival of my first grandchild that pushed me into action. A long-time knitter, I am now ready to explore all things fiber.
