24 - Lighthouse

[Sherri]

Nice drawings Zilpa and Patricia.  This was a fun lesson. My husband said he was glad when I got done. He couldn't stand to hear the eraser any more!!!!

Wow!!!!   
Patricia...I wish they made that color drawing paper.
Zilpa I see a bearded man laughing and a little girl smiling up at him.
Sherri your clouds have a big smiling face.
Beautiful drawings ladies.

Great lighthouse everyone.

Terrific drawings, ladies.  They are really great.  Way to go!!

[MaryAnne Long]

This was a very enjoyable and worthwhile lesson.  I see now that I want to have an electric eraser.  You can tell by the number of white flowers that I was at quite a disadvantage.

Details

I used Strathmore 80lb. drawing paper.  Would something else have been better?

My scan is grainier than the sketch.

I think I improvised in a few places.

Regardless, it was fun and I learned a lot.

Nice work on your light house, Sherri.  Did you have an electric eraser to do all those flowers?

I'm so glad I took this class.  Yes, good fun.

Mea. I did have an electric eraser. Bought one after the last class. Love it. Sherri

[MaryAnne Long]

Sherri,

What kind of electric eraser did you get?  Would you recommend it?

Great job Mea, depending on what texture you want as to what paper you use. I really like your texture too.

   Sally, Mea, Sherri, Natalie, Kris, Danielle and Retta for your kind comments.  It was a fun lesson as they all are and we continue to learn and expand our knowledge. 


     Lovely lighthouses Zilpa, Sherri and Mea.




Mea, I have a Koh-I-Noor electric eraser and I love it.  I have had it for a long time and never had any problems with it at all.

  Mea i realy like your drawing, love the colour contrast, the water is sweet, the lighthouse is very well done nice rounding.  The only little thing I would change is the big clouds near the horizon line they are big, the further the smaller, but maybe it is a conglamoration of clouds.
You are becoming quite the artist.

[MaryAnne Long]

Oh, dear, Danielle.  I hadn't thought about those clouds being that big in front.  They seemed that way in the reference photo. 

I'll keep that it mind for the future.  Too late for this one.  I am sending it today to my friend in Massachusetts.  She collects lighthouses and is the perfect person to get this sketch.
