Great little sketch. We can often do a sketch to tell a story of what is, we can even imply what may come. Will the farm totally collapse or will it be restored and used again to grow crops and family. But we can never really be sure of what has passed, the life the people who worked this farm had good times and bad. However, a picture like this allows us to make a story in our mind what used to be. Art is such a story teller 🙏
Good morning Jim. I just had a thought and I hope it is ok with you. My pen and wash work is more precise and my washes fill in all the paper. I admire your “detailed loose” style and want to try something to free my style up a bit. I am going to rewatch your videos without sound and slowed down to allow me to study and copy what you do. I am thinking it will change my style and give me two distinct ways of approaching each work I do. I hope to become comfortable with my modified style to give me variety in my works. Your videos have inspired this old guy and I thank you so much….thank you!
Amazing to watch the progression from simple lines to forms, shapes, textures, shadows. Really tells a story!
Yes, when it comes together it’s so nice and seems like it almost creates itself.
This is a perfectly lovely sketch. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Thanks so much, appreciate you watching.
LOVE ypur work and your gentle commentary and music. So glad i've found you!!
I’m glad my videos found you as well, thanks .

The different ways we approach art keeps it interesting. I’ve done pieces from detailed to loose and enjoy them all. It all keeps this old guy going.
