Covered Bridge Oval

LJMpaintings 31 May 2020

This was about a 2 hour sketch. Im not liking it very much. My angle for rocks under the bridge is wrong and my distant trees are pretty bad. I actually used Tom0779 painting version to work from as his was nicely detailed. I wanted to sketch a BobRoss painting for a while and tried this one as I like the bridge so much.

LJM, yes, this one is difficult as one has to draw using vanishing points, etc. Tom,s version is super nice with all the details, I think you did your very well. Dont worry about trees just tell they are Joshua trees. :)
If you don't mind my advice about the wall let me summarize it for you in little article and after you read it I can remove it.

Another idea, in case you are very upset with the trees. Just add leaves and convert it to the summer scene.

I just realized after looking at your bridge that I never drew snow with the pencil!
I found this nice video on you tube.
