Barn Sketch

We drove past this old barn at the far end of a field again today, and I was reminded of a sketch I did of it earlier this year. That got me thinking it might be fun to do a digital color sketch of it this evening. I know I've mentioned this before but I love the fun lines that snowy cornfields make - the brown roughage of the cut stalks sticking out above the snow. They really do a good job of showing the dimension of the landscape. And the vineyard at the far right is a fun puzzle to figure out as well. Not too much detail, as it's right on the edge of the frame, but enough to get the concept across. It also helps funnel the viewer into the focal point of the barn and the bare trees near the center.
