What Is A Thumbnail Sketch?
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.

Hi Ulrike! Wonderful thumb! Your values are always so inviting and the different gestures of the shrubs and trees are very nice. It must be refreshing to have the ice melting and Spring right around the corner.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, that is great, but on the other hand it's hay fever time for me already - a good reason to stay indoors. However, that will end on Friday. Yeah! O:-)
