Whilst doing research on a new project, I enjoyed a landscape. An old house or a forsaken one on an open field is very appealing. I always look at this spot from a car and wanted to sketch it. I sneaked into the field from a broken fence. Ants bit me. Only soft breeze talked to me. A quiet and rich afternoon.... I've realised that all my favourite landcapes have something moving such as waves and winds. I was very much aware of the breeze in this work. Technically, I enjoyed this sketch so much.
Wash, a focal point and a composition, I'm learning. I used a dry brush technique on the little hut to show a rusty roof. A little bit closed up work, below, did not turn out as attractive as the first one. Anyway, I always learn something from every try and move forward.
As if that sketched spot were left over from construction in busy Sydney. I want to collect such pretty "spots left over" from development and use them for my picture book illustration.

Another lesson, "Draw it, if I want to draw!" Reluctance will kill a chance. She who hesitates will lose the opportunity.
I feel like enjoying landscapes and washes more in 2018.

Friends, Happy Painting!
Two beautiful landscapes, Sadami, but I prefer the first one also. I can almost feel the soft breeze.
ReplyDeleteBroken fences & biting ants - the story made me smile at your determination.
And thanks for sharing these important lessons. Great post!
Thank u very much, Chris! You know the techniques more than me. I admire you. Keep up your wonderful work. Best wishes, Sadami
DeleteBeautiful landscapes, Sadami! I can feel the breeze! (not the biting ants :) )
ReplyDeleteThank u, Judy! When you come to Sydney, let's sketch together. Please take care and first of all, gain the full recovery. Best wishes, Sadami
DeleteDear Sadami your landscapes are beautiful. They remind me of long lazy summer days and I can almost detect smell of meadow flowers.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Agnieszka! Come over and let's sketch together. Please take care not to catch a cold in a cold winter. We're in more than 40' yesterday!Cheers, Sadami
DeleteMuy bien Sadami, pintar en el campo es una delicia, a pesar de las moscas, mosquitos, hormigas y otros animalillos, porque todos ellos, forman parte de la naturaleza.
ReplyDeleteMe gustan esos cielos que has pintado. Bravo!
Un fuerte abrazo.
Muchas gracias, Joshemari! Australia tiene una hermosa naturaleza. Ven y disfrútalo conmigo. Mis mejores deseos, Sadami
DeleteThank you very much, Joshemari! Australia has a beautiful nature. Come and enjoy it with me. Best wishes, Sadami

Very well Sadami, painting in the field is a delight, despite the flies, mosquitoes, ants and other animals, because all of them are part of nature.
I like those skies that you have painted. Bravo!
A hug.
Great painting, Sadami. I can feel the breeze but thankfully not the ant bites. It was 40 deg when I left Sydney and -5 deg when I arrived in London (after 3 months in Harrington Park, Sydney)
ReplyDeleteThank u very much, John. I hope a wonderful and safe trip. Kind regards, Sadami
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, Sadami. I really love the look of the wild flowers and grasses in the fields. To see unmanicured areas like that brings joy as it is a gentle reminder how life goes on even when no one is looking.
ReplyDeleteThank u very much, Carol. Indeed! Mother nature reminds us of the divine existence. I hope you'll have a wonderful 2018. Best wishes, Sadami
DeleteI like both landscapes but do feel the top one is more open and fresh - love the clouds and skies you do.
ReplyDeleteOh, Rhonda, thank u and enjoy your own holiday leave! Cheers, Sadami
DeleteBoth of them are beautiful but the first one has so much depth in it. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteOh, thank u, AK. You always encourage me. Best wishes, Sadami
DeleteDear Sadami this piece speaks to my heart - so beautiful. I think more a painting than a sketch. Glad to read you will be doing more landscapes in the coming year. I will be looking forward to seeing them. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank u, sweet Debbie! Very happy that you've recognised this work as a painting. Yesterday the work reached the step mom. The lady is so happy. I'll keep up with landscapes. Hugs, Sadami
