This is beautiful Ulrike! And your style is changing in a great way. Very inspiring! I'm going to Philipe Park this afternoon to do some thumbnails with my Irish friend Sandra. She is bringing her sketchbook as well and will be doing thumbnails also. I will post some soon. Thank you for posting this!
A thumbnail Sketch is a small and rough sketch outlining the elements in a proposed painting. Thumbnail sketches are a good way to work through an idea, or to try out different compositions. It is up to the artist to decide what medium to use; pencils, charcoal, colored pencils. Notes can be added on thoughts and ideas to carry out in the painting. The shape of the sketch is in proportion with the paper or canvas to be painted.

ReplyDeleteA thumbnail of mystery Ulrike, your style is indeed changing. Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phoebe and Caroline, but I'm not sure if my style changes... depends on the topic, you know. O;-)
