Field sketches





Hi everyone!
these are my first ever 'sketches from life' so I would absolutely love any advice or feedback. I've always wanted to do this but only just got the courage!

I've been away from the forum for a bit, and checking back in on all the work I've been missing. Great job on the field sketches, as well as the finished pieces!

Very nice sketches. My tip is to just 'keep working.' You're doing fine and I'm sure will keep progressing as you work. These have a nice simple line.

Keep on keeping on!

These field sketches are superb, and can only be helped with lots more!

It's nice to see "reportage" in sketching. Behaviour in action. Love it.
