I love the old worn out look of #3. Also how the grass is overgrown in front.

Joni K

Oooohhh! #3! Let’s paint a rainbow!

Karen

#3. I agree with Michelle.

Sharon White

I really love #1, but I agree that #3 looks the most challenging and the one I would learn from the most, so I say #3. And I thank you sooooooooo much for all you do, and you are the BEST teacher!!! Thank you!

I like 2, a quaint little cottage. 3 could be from a horror movie, 1 doesnt appeal to me. But I think I am outnumbered lol.

Lorna Graham

All look lovely but the rainbow wins for me. #1 🌈

Petra

I like 1 in it's colors , but 3 is more interesting, I love the old feeling from this house.

Johanna

I like to learn how to sketch old walls - how to realize demages - and also the rainbow 🌈

Luis Baliño

Would like to learn how to represent Rainbow!!

John A. Blackwell

I 'd like to see how the trees are done in number 1. We have trees that look like that. Ours' are junipers, which we call cedars.

By the way, thanks so much for the lessons. I have gone back to the beginning of portraits and am working my way through all of the lessons. While I'm working, I often feel that I'm getting nowhere, but on looking back at the pages of sketches the next day, I can see the progress. There is a talent in art that rests on learnable skills. Not all of us will have the innate talent, but most of us can learn the skills. Thanks for the encouragement and excellent instruction.

3 but 1 is also fine by me.

Colleen

3 has a rainbow :-) love that

Susan B Silk

I'd be happy to sketch any, but have a slight preference for 3.
