Learn to Sketch! - Lesson 7 - Landscapes (Patreon)

This is the seventh lesson in the Learn to Sketch series! In this lesson we'll focus on landscapes. I'll show you how you can approach sketching landscapes and what you can think of when creating your landscape, like textures, line weight, working from big shapes to small shapes, creative freedom, etc.

I've added the exercise file I used during the demonstration. Of course you can also grab your own reference images or go plein-air sketching!

Here are the color studies I made using the sketches, I'm thinking of perhaps making a follow up class about turning a landscape sketch into a color study. I'm still exploring different techniques though, so I want to explore a bit more first.

These color studies were made in 30 min to an hour.
