Watercolour Sketch, Theophilus

[moondog]

I've posted the odd sketch of the moon before, but haven't tried watercolour.

This is the first attempt, only just got round to finishing it !

Sketch shows ( top to bottom) Theophilus, Cyrillus and Catharina. Part of the Rupes Altai is bottom right.

I love this sort of thing (maybe because I totally lack artistic talent)

Thanks for sharing MD

That's something else Moondog.

I'll swap my camera for your paints, brushes, and talent.

Cushtie.

that is beautiful - it makes you wonder: £1000 for a CCD and lots of extra equipment and practice, or £20 for some artists material and lots of practice.

Nice to see something different.

Glad you liked something a bit different.

Not quite as instant as using the camera, but drawing the features helps you understand them better.

Andrew - Whatever method you use it all requires practice !

It actually goes;

CCD imaging setup... £1000

Brushes and paper... £20

Talent and ability to paint... PRICELESS!
