Thank you. My secret, I avoid sketching. I have to force myself to do it for a project, and yet I have dozens of sketch books. Your works alway inspire me to think "maybe today I will do some live sketching! "
Had an idea I might test to see if it makes the area to busy + distracting, or getting rid of the big demanding leaf is a good thing. Got some pruned leaves and strung them up in my work area. I'm going to paint a version of them in.
I have tried to capture our roo mob a few times. Not a recommendation, I like it as it is, but maybe more colour contrasts in the gran and perhapsa different / new focus in the sky.
