The invitation to paint on Wet Canvas this month references a couple of lighthouses. In order to make challenge this more relevant to me, I thought I'd sketch some of North Carolina's fine lighthouses -- and so sketched this one of Cape Hatteras.
My reference photo (I live four hours from the lighthouse!!! LOL) showed a sunny summer day, so I thought, also fitting for our predicted showers today, to add a bit of a storm approaching.
I'd like to do this again on a larger sheet of paper so I can extend the lighthouse. I tend to be more relaxed about my daily practice sketching, and tend to freeze up a bit when I attempt a 'painting.' I'm going to have to think a bit of ways to change that!! LOL
WOW...Beautiful lin. I feel like I'm right there.
ReplyDeleteVery very nice. I especially like the sky and the ground -- lots of great perspective and feeling in this one!

Gosh Lin, adding that storm was a stroke of genius! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was already dramatic, then i read you added the storm approaching -- which is really neat. Great results!
ReplyDeleteA large sheet of paper intimidates me. Yet it is easier to let the paint flow, yet I can't seee it so well. hmmm
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the light in this one! Stunning.
