Sunday Sketches - Practice Pieces

 Happy Sunday!  I've spent most of the weekend doing practice trees so I decided to try to do a quick landscape.  Nothing spectacular just trying to apply some of the things I learned from watching videos on YouTube last night.


Not to be upstaged by a silly little practice piece Peanut just had to get in on the action and have her photo take also.


We're going to look at another apartment this afternoon.  Much cheaper than the last one, hopefully just as nice.  Need to decide soon as we only have a couple weeks before moving day.  It sure would be nice to have somewhere to move to. lol

To see more Sunday sketches hop on over to Blue Chair Diary hosted by Sophia.

    Wonderful landscape... I love watching people paint on you tube, but I've never tried a tutorial... I might have to give that a try!

    I think your new giraffe header is fabulous, by the way :)
