Hi Judah, (Harris, right?) I know a few Judahs! I reworked the top one. It's a photo of Ein Kerem, Jerusalem. I love the spot. Very old and charming. I have done some plein air paintings of it, but this is from photographs. I do little thumbnail sketches but I don't spend too much time on them. In fact, check facebook. You'll see originally it had a lot of overgrown flowers above the doorway. I reworked it because I thought it didn't work as well. It sparked quite a conversation with many artists making suggestions. Lots of good tips offered there actually... Thanks for commenting!
Two winners. The top one is splendid. How long did it take you to draw? Have you sat and drawn anything on site there - set up easel and all?
ReplyDeleteHi. So glad you like them. Is this Judah Fink? I have a few friends by that name!
