I've been wanting to have a go at learning landscape techniques for a long while and I've finally started. I've been reading up and watching tutorials, and have started a practice sketchbook. I started out drawing with ink lines but I don't like the look of the ink lines so I've abandoned the ink pen and now I just do a quick light pencil sketch to map in the main shapes before adding colour with watercolour paint and watercolour pencils.

I definitely prefer without the ink lines.

So I'm finally on my way with my landscape learning journey. I'm keen to keep it loose and immediate, not to tighten up and focus on detail (as I tend to with botanicals and wildlife). I think a lot of practice is going to be needed, but I'm really enjoying it, which is all that really matters.
