HOW I SKETCH, by TOM BROWN

Here’s an example of how I work in my sketchbook. I did a very loose pencil sketch of this scene, then blocked in the major shapes with almost no detail. I kept it very simple. I just wanted to get down my impression of how it could look with a bit more color. In this case, greens were an important part of the subject, so I focused on mixing an array of different greens that would work well together. From there it practically painted itself. In fact this is one of the paintings featured in my eBook on sketching with oils. If you’re interested, the eBook is available at THIS LINK
