those are tight! love the colors!

Where did you go to sketch them?

They are really good. The colours are brilliant.

Pictures were sketched mostly in and around Nottingham, UK (as that's where I'm from).

A few were done while on holiday in Weymouth, Dorset (UK).

Another at the Center Parcs holiday villiage (Notts, UK).

Thank for the compliments by the way (I can feel my head growing as I type)

I have never completed drawing a landscape pic from reality, I am too impatient or have simply not the possibility. Maybe you have some simple solutions?

I'm not sure I can suggest any particular solution to impatience.

But what's good about landscapes is they change very little over time. I tend to sketch on the way to work which means I can usually only spend 10-15 mins sketching each day. For me, it takes longer than 10-15 minutes to complete a sketch. And so I'll come back to the same location for a few days (weather permitting) in order to complete a sketch. Doing a sketch in small chunks allows me to avoid boredom and distraction (and to a degree impatience). It stops me from making silly mistakes.

Once again, I absolutely love them QD. Great work!! Here's one I fixed-

Beautiful.  Your artwork makes me smile. Thank you for sharing it.

They are very well done

Some new-ish stuff and some stuff I forgot I'd done.

Opps a bit too big

Oh well...
If I can’t impress people with quality of my artwork at least I can impress them with scale.

Ahhh thanks women from mars...

I like using pastles--but also used, water colours, pencil, coloured pencils, pen, charcoal, acrylics, oils, wood, stone, wire, clay, glue, mud, leafs, sand and the kitchen sink.

I haven't yet started painting with my own blood--but I'm sure its only a matter of time lol

Bloody Brilliant mate!!!
