Landscape sketching practice



I'm trying to learn to do simple ink and watercolour sketches of landscapes. Here are a couple of practice sketches from photos. The first one is from a reference photo on Wetcanvas.com (uploaded by ICanDoIt) and the second from my own photo. Simplifying while still keeping interesting composition and colours is proving a challenge.

Lovely landscapes - especially the water! I also like the frame you drew around the first one, it makes it more private feeling.
Thanks for the kind words you left on my blog as well.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. It is hard to find time to see everyone's isn't it, much as we'd all love to. I like the frame you put around the top picture. I like the unevenness of it especially. Makes me think of some greeting cards I've seen. Both pictures are nice. I've got to try some real watercolor sometime - as soon as I get up the nerve!
