Old roofs at Brockenhurst_digital sketch

Old roofs at Brockenhurst_digital sketch

This digital sketch shows a number of old red colour tiled roofs, probably on barns, and a chimney stack as viewed from sitting in a churchyard on a visit to the town of Brockenhurst, Hampshire, within the New Forest. I do find that roofs and chimneys offer so much in the way of interest and character. The application used was AutoDesk Sketchbook, running on a Samsung tablet. It was a sunny day but I sat in the shade of the church which allowed me to see what I was doing with the light not drowning out the display image too much.

blue boat on jacks digital sketch

Blue boat on jacks digital sketch

This drawing was done in early September in 2015... but forgotten about until recently discovered. It is done digitally on a tablet from life but the program used is unknown. The boat is located in a small marina in the east part of Southampton, UK. It is uncertain if the sketch was actually finished!

Path in New Forest WIP art

Path in New Forest WIP art

Work in progress of a painting showing a path running through a heather landscape in the New Forest, Hampshire. The part of the forest shown is near to the small town of Lyndhurst. The painting is done in acrylics on stretched water colour paper measuring 16" x 12", during late march 2016. The first panel shows the basic acrylic line drawing on a red ground, the second a half way stage and the rd panel the completed acrylic painting.
