Two sketches from today…Two scenes for plein air oil paintings.
In “green hills” I didn’t do well on the dark shadowing under the trees…far too warm and not receding – because I once again didn’t stop when enough is enough and continued fiddling! Just hope I’ll do better in the uocoming oil painting!
…green hills..
…old breadoven…
both sketches in pen and watercolor in watercolor sketchbook, 19x20cm (7,5 “x7,9”)

Thanks so much for coming over and enjoying my travels in Italy. I love your recent plein air pieces!!! You make it look effortless. Ciao!
I think they’re both great, Ronell! I hope you post the oils when you get to them. Lovely!
These are lively moments in time and place and I love looking at them.
I agree with Joan, Sue and Bridget, they are just delightful. And what about that bread oven? Is it on your property and can it be restored to be used? Is it like those pottery ovens inside? I have never baked bread in an outside bread oven so they always make me so curious.

You really do excel with pen and watercolour!
