Pantry
Posted: December 18, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized 6 CommentsWhen I’m looking for something to sketch, the cans in the pantry have just as much variety in value, colour and shape as the row of colourful buildings that I painted this summer in Girona, Spain. This was sketched in a Stillman & Birn Beta series, thanks to the generous folks at Avenue des Arts in Montreal. I was in the store yesterday and found out that they will be carrying the Stillman & Birn line in 2014. Great news for fans of these sketchbooks, as they were previously unavailable here.
Thanks for another great indoor sketching idea! This sketch has a wonderful abstractness to it. It’s all about seeing the values, right! Good news about the sketchbooks.
Yes, I’m very happy about the way this paper takes the paint. Now that we will be able to get these here, I can happily paint away in the books.
I really like how you simplify the labels into shapes. I tend to get too detailed.
I am going to try this approach and let you know how it works!
Ok, let me know. Sometimes I do more lettering but I tried to keep this one simple.
Great idea! Even better sketch.
