Each drawing of my Loring Art Calendar 2012 is a tribute to one of my favorite artists. As I said it is a way of thanking them for uploading their artworks to the Internet. While they are sharing their work for free, we are enjoying and learning.
The May sketch is inspired on this drawing by Rob Carey. Rob used as reference for his drawing a painting by the German Expressionist painter August Macke. Three different versions of the same scene. I used a photo by Wolfgang Pittkowski as reference.
You did a fantastic job! You captured so many details in the photo…Bravo!
Hugs, xx
Thank you, Deb!
Wonderful job!
Thank you!
It’s beautiful Nuno. And thank you too for the information
.
It seems the Macke’s sister lived in Kandern. When he visited her, he did many sketches and paintings of this beautiful village. It seems a nice place to visit.
Thank you!
Pretty! I like your picture better than the actual photo!
I chose this photo because it is licensed under a Creative Commons. Perhaps it is a little bit dark.
Thanks!
Very nice, Nuno!!
Thank you very much!
Nice job, Nuno!!!
Ach so, ach so. I love Macke’s paintings. I’ve got to study German expressionism for my exams (and so many other movements). Really interesting.
Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad you find it interesting.
Thank you!
It has all the old world charm, and removes the car so the eye can wonder whether it is modern or ancient. lovely
Thank you. It is a very simple drawing, I’d love to be able to use the watercolors in the way you do it. I’ll keep practicing!
holy–I would very much love to be able to use them the way you do!
Really cool, I love the detail.
Thank you, Kellie.
