        Just some rocks. Drawn on location with ink wash and a pair of Microns, about 5×6″.

            Nice shading ..it just needs a little rabbit peeking out behind the foremost rock. ;) But that’s just me, the animal lover.

                And why not !
                & why ? – because such apparently simple still life studies done from life enhance our art immeasurably.

                    The details make this enjoyable.

                        Thanks all. Like the builders of Stonehenge I struggle with rocks, but maybe it’ll be worth it in the end. :)

                            Leaves is my worst nightmare. I don’t know why it is, but for some reason my leaves always look fake and contrived no matter what I do.

                                This is a lovely little study. Really like the shading and textures. :)

                                    When are two rocks more than “just two rocks”? Right here! Very enjoyable to look at!

                                        I’ve always loved rocks. Great job!

                                        Don’t know how I missed this first time round – sorry VA …… definitely worth seeing – really good work on both texture and tone ……. rocks are difficult for me too, so I probably should follow your example!:)

                                        Cheers, Maureen

                                            VanAndrew – your rocks rock! (Sorry, once an engineer, always…). I too struggle to draw realistic rocks and yours serve as a good example to emulate.

                                                Excellent, VA! Struck me as Eastern at first glance on a small phone screen, but I zoomed in to see the nice line/hatch work. Very effective use of line and wash.

                                                        That front rock looks like a very comfortable seat when tired on a long walk. Just enough details on the front rock and the right amount of lack of details on the back one. well done.
