Gerben's Sketchbook - Sharpening the axe

[gerbenpasjes]

You took a big leap in quality from 13 to 14! Welcome to the forums! Hope you will enjoy your stay!

Thanks Zorrentos & Max & Ronya! It was in fact compiling this overview that I considered my growth had slowed down too much too my liking, so here we are! It is motivated from a positive angle though, I don't believe guilt and shame are good motivators in the long term (for me anyway). 

Anyway here's some half-study half imaginary paintings I did from Mary Blair's work. Her color combinations are fantastic and I wanted to figure out what she's doing. I still have a lot of trouble figuring out the local value of the sky vs the landscape, would like to do some virtual plein airs to remedy that!
