I really like the peacefulness of 3. The sky in 1 is more interesting, minus the black birds attacking 🤣. Those birds belong in an Alfred Hitchcock scene.

Mr. M

This is lovely...I'm going to test out what I have learned and try it anyway! Thanks!

Fran

I like #1, without all the birds! 😊

Kerstin

I also like all of them 😅 i like number 1. Though with some of the birds 😬

Cathy M Dempsey

Any of them, really, but first choice w/b #3

John

I love light houses, but agree with most, 1 without the birds or 3.. you could do both 😎

Lim Lim

I like no.3. Shadow is distinct, I also want to know how to paint the water. 😉

Patricia

Id love to learn more about how to paint the sky in #1. And yes, lose some of those birds. I also like all the shapes and colors.

Mary L Doty

I love the sky in #1 so that is my preference but #3 has the most challenges.

Karen

I choose #3 for all of the textures and different elements of round lighthouse, different shaped buildings and the water. Maybe we can do other sketches with beautiful skies.

Mei Nguyen

Choose #1 because the light source seems to come from behind. I want to see how you treat it.

Elly

I like #3, not too sure why. It's lovely

Javier Sabadell

I vote for #1 if the background is included in the watercolor finishing. Otherwise, #3 is my election

Mike247

Portland Head lighthouse has been on my painting to do list for a long time. That's why it is my choice. #3

dave

#1 as I would like to learn how to do a sky like that. Maybe that’s a separate tutorial but nonetheless, I am interested either with this sketch or covered in a future tutorial.

Joe

Choice #1 would be great. Love the sky.

Roz

I hope you do the sky also, Scottie. My sky skills are dismal!

Dee Johnson

I agree with the comments regarding painting the sky. If only looking at the lighthouse and buildings, I like #3 for it complexities.

Lorna Graham

I like the simplicity of #2 but have voted for #1 because of the amazing sky. Really enjoyed the previous lighthouse sketch, looking forward to this one 😎

Kathy S

I like #3.😊

jade

I like 3 because it would be great to learn to paint the rocks and the sea 🙂

Annika

Number three because of the rocky cliff and the sea

Ryan M

Scottie would you be able to provide the ref photos for all of them regardless of winner
