Clarisse's sketchbook

[Clarisse Silva]

Have been really busy these days and so I haven't managed to do everything I planned. Been feeling really low lately, I don't know why. However, here's some things from the end of August and this month:

This one took me ages to do, but I feel that I've learnt something with this



And tried to apply from imagination



Based on a painting by Timothy Rodriguez, tried to keep it simple



A landscape masterstudy after Benouville. Hate how it came out because I feel like I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to light, color, rendering and a general process of painting. (About this, I've tried to paint landscapes starting "alla prima", with no linework, directly with color and trying to achieve a painterly look; I've tried to find the main shapes in black and white and then coloring, although, when I try to apply color on a black and white painting I get completely lost; I've tried to do a simple sketch of the main shapes of a landscape and then applying a color layer underneath; etc... So, if someone would like to suggest some processes for painting, I would appreciate a lot).



And a photo study I did today, again, I can't render more than this, critiques very well appreciated.
