Schoolism Essentials of Realism Lessons 1-3

I'm currently doing a Schoolism course by Jonathan Hardesty called "Essentials of Realism". These are some studies from the first three lessons I've done.

Afternoon sky study

There's just something so awesome about having one's head in the clouds. A quick lunchtime sketch.

Lunchtime sky study.

Colour Studies

Some colour studies that I have been doing over the past month. I have also been busy with an online course from Nathan Fowkes on Schoolism.com called "Designing with Colour and Light" which has encouraged me to do more of these.

The studies below are from observing the art of Noah Bradley.
