Color study in Art Rage

Hello!! I want to share a little color study I made yesterday. These are useful exercises, at least I hope. Finally it took more than an hour to do this albeit I picked color too much.. but I hope that this can train my eye (and relax me a bit). The drawing is not much important as the right color picking, I admit it's a bit difficult for me you have to become familiar with the color system picker of Art Rage, and the luminescence of the display can be deceitful without experience. Anyway with practice it's more confortable than doing this kind of exercise in traditional medium, even if it would be more satisfying (and time consuming). I must confess that for now I have used only regular oil brush without caring about all the features and facets of the program.

Here you can find the original.

Drawing Course 6

Here it is another post about my old drawing course. The exercise is basically the same. We had to make a copy (sorry, can't remember the author), but this time we inked it with fineliner (about 0.1, 0.4, 0.9 diameter). The original is a beautiful etching of a villa:

From an advertisment

This is quite old drawing. This come from 2010, the time of the drawing course. I copied a picture from a well-known commercial.. I hope I'm not violating some rule here >_<
I used charcoal pencil for the rocks. Chalk sticks for sky and water (only few primary colors), sanguigne and sepia pencil for the red rocks. I think also some touches with few oil pastel, diluted with turpentine. I tried to reproduce the fog effect with white pastel, but only got a burnishing effect. I forgot the boy is in marker.

Drawing course 2

Here it is the second lesson. Unfortunately, we left life drawing and we began to draw from scruffy copies. But this was exhalting anyway!! And I was able to practice at home.

This is an etching from Giorgio Morandi
