Llangorse Lake

After finishing my last landscape illustration with the blush sky (which can be seen here) I really wanted to create another with a similar aesthetic. For this one I sketched the lake edge and hills overlooking Llangorse Lake which can be found here in the Brecon Beacons, but I wanted to go for a light teal coloured sky this time.

I enjoy painting these skies because they’re a little challenging to get the balance of colour and texture right, but they still manage to be relaxing to create.

I quite like how this came out with the teal colour contrasting against the landscape sketch, and I’m particularly pleased with how the trees in the foreground turned out!

Song Thrush - Page of Cups

Back in January I managed to identify my first Song Thrush in the garden! I really loved watching this particularly one hop about the floor and presumably looking for food, the cream colour of the chest with the brown markings make them look very sweet!

Due to their renowned song I thought that it would make for an appropriate portrayal of the Page of Cups which is also known for creativity, so I decided to illustrate this one perched along the edge of a chalice.

Blush Brecon Beacons

Here’s another landscape illustration featuring some of the mountains found in the Brecon Beacons. For this one I wanted to paint a more subtle sky when compared to the last landscape I drew, I’m also still really enjoying this blush pink colour!

If you want to know which Procreate brushes I used for the sky then you can find out in this post here. I could also make a separate post where I outline all my favourite Procreate brushes to use, if that’s something that any of you would be interested in?
