Goose Sketch

Well, I think I might have been able to pick up a few things from the Sargent exercise. I was trying it out and think that I have and good way to get to the rough sketch very quickly, or at least quickly for me anyway. I was able to go to the Mobile Museum of Art, which has an amazing collection of work, which inspired me to work on this one. There is a park and a couple bridges to explore there which are awesome. Loved it. There were geese living there. I'm assuming they'll be traveling back to Canada now that it is getting warm, but I took some shots of them and this is what I came up with in 45 min. I loved working in the cool colors of the shadow and the light through the trees was hitting the grass just perfectly. My model was very willing to give me his best poses.
