Abstract Watercolor Landscape Sketches With Pen
Last week I shared with you some very simple abstract watercolor sketches, check it out here, which are really lovely, and now I’m want to show you what to do when those sketches are not so successful! It is true you could just leave them alone, or paint over them entirely, but first, try defining some of the spaces with pen or colored pencil. I used a black waterproof pen and and white gel pen, but do experiment, as that is what a sketchbook is all about. After all my fears of messing up in my sketchbook, this week I entered a mind space where at long last I feel freer to experiment in my sketchbook, as first of all it is small and therefore makes more sense timewise, and ahhhhh, no one needs to know about it! Well of course no one except for you all, my dear readers. So, I really really do recommend trying to start a sketchbook practice, I am finding it to be so very rewarding and interesting, especially since this week I’ve moved into my landscape orientation watercolor paper sketchbook! Okay, have a look at the rest of the group, that were painted across two pages……
I may have overdone it with the pen, especially around the pond, but otherwise this lackluster little painting became so much more interesting and shareable!
The one on the left needed just a few white lines to help it out!
Okay, hope you’ve enjoyed this little peek in my sketchbook, now get out those watercolors and paint a few horizontal strokes of color that magically become a landscape, you’ll love it, promise!
