TUTORIAL FOR THIS WEEK: Urban Sketching _ Winter Scene (Card Making?)

Winter / Christmas season is almost upon us (well not here in Australia 😂) and it was suggested by a Patron that we sketch a winter scene so those who like to make Christmas cards can sketch something for their loved ones. 

I searched high and low and found these four references. I like #1 with the dramatic contrasting black roof but also thought a smaller building with some figures could be fun. I added in a figure cutting wood and a boy collecting wood for two photos. 

Let me know what you think by voting below and commenting about why you like a particular reference. (I'll have to find a beach scene for me to sketch later 😉)

WHAT'S COMING UP:

Week Starting 27th November: People Sketching - Winter Scene?

Week Starting 4th December: Urban Objects - Windmill

Week Starting 11th December: Portraits

Thank you . Number 1 and 3 for me please. Always wanted to do snow ..

Fran

I would like to know the best wsy to incorporate snow

Mary L Doty

I like # 1 which is more of a black, grey , and white scene. I like the misty mid-ground. I like # 2 also because the roof adds some color. I do think adding a figure, as in #3, would be interesting but the building is rather simple. I will actually be happy with any of the four.

Lorna Graham

First glance and I was drawn to no 1. I like the mountain behind and it looks really cold 😊

#! &#3 I like the combination of landscape and architecture.David

Sheila Chandler

I love the monochrome look of #1. I think it would be fun to add a pop of color (lights) to the evergreen tree on left side.

Sandycab

It is so perfect in beauty!

John Reese

Jack Reese like reference 3, the placement of the church tower. It is a nice center of interest.

Sharon White

I like all but especially 1 and 4... thank you

Susi D

Nr. 2 and Nr. 3 because I am practising buildings with towers right now ... thank you!

Yarong Ashley

I like No. 4. I feel it's more challenging than the rest because of the light and shade contrast and the more complicated building.
