Here is my completed Colour Pencil Landscape of Manzanillo Beach on A5 Sketchbook Paper.
I am pretty pleased with how this has turned out, although of course there are areas I would like to improve. My rock drawing skills are not the best, so I think they let it down - especially at the bottom edge of the land mass we see in the distance. I struggled with that! However, I love the water and how I managed to get a reflection of the light down the middle, and I rather like the leaves (especially the main one with yellow veins) in the bottom left of the picture. I also had fun discovering a way to show trees growing on the hills in the distance - by drawing tiny circles with a blue pencil on green shaded hills. It worked really well I think!
So my Landscape skills are steadily improving, and no doubt the more I practice them, the more they will improve. I just find them so challenging!
Thanks for looking, and please feel to leave and tips and suggestions for improvement in the comments below!
