Thumb in the Dunes 2

Hello, again O:-) If you're having some closer looks into Edgar's book, too, Caroline and Phoebe, perhaps you could tell me about the meaning of the decorative approach to composition. I must say I've just got the feeling that he's not fond of it, but I haven't understood what he was talking about O:-) Could you explain?

Thumbnails again

I'm reading Edgar A. Payne's "Composition of Outdoor Painting". It's a great book to learn with and that's why I'm back to do those tiny drawings again.

More Thumbs

These are results of an exercise. They are quite rough but postable. O;-)

Thumb and Result

Yes, Phoebe, you're quite right. I've just done some pastels and more or less by chance there was a thumbnail for that I did during the course.

And here's the pastel result.

18 x 13cm

Ulrike's Thumbnailing 5

This time I've got just two to post, but it's better than nothing. The studio and its garden needed an urgent spring-clean and it's best to do that in the first sunny hours we seem to have for ages O;-)

Got it!

For the first posting I looked for a thumbnail I haven't posted up to now and I found this one.
