- I chose to do a sketch focusing on the texture of the trees and rocks, as well as the depth and position of the mountains. I did this sketch and a very basic sketch to set up how I want to paint my final painting next week, focusing on the connection between the water, trees, and mountain.

Great way to start and get to know your subject. Looking forward to the painting.

It’s nice to see your path, from a decision on your focus to your follow-up work. Your sketches are a great beginning.
You’ve certainly captured a textural feel throughout the piece. I enjoyed seeing your preliminary sketch and notes as well. Your crystallization of the design carries through beautifully to the finished drawing. Your soft marks give it a peaceful feeling.
It’s so interesting to hear your thought process and sketches for your future painting. It sound like a great way to approach it. I look forward to seeing the painting.
Drawing is so foundational, and you certainly approach it with patience and skill. Keep up the good work.
