SIP-n-Sketch:Train on Bridge, in-progress, 7-18-2020

Hi SIP-n-Sketchers:

Here is the in-progress photo of Train on Truss-Arch Bridge.

This sketch seems to be progressing rapidly, like a moving locomotive. It might be that we are sketching/painting in a loose, watercolor approach, and not too compulsive about the details. In any case, there might be only two more sessions remaining on the Train sketch. I have an idea about our next sketch, I think you might like it.

SIP-n-Sketch: Trapper, finished - 7/10/2020

Here's the final Trapper portrait:

The finishing touches were adding highlights to his fur, cleaning up the spots on his face, and adding background shadow to bring out his ear and face.

Remember, next session is "Viewer's choice" - send in your landscape photos for us to sketch. I will collect the photos this weekend and select an interesting photo to sketch.
