Pike 2
This is my second exercise from John Pike's book. It's supposed to be a snow scene (in case you can't tell - ha). John Pike's grays were actually darker than mine and yet his looked like snow. Maybe I need to have more variation in the gray and also more drift patterns. I like my foreground trees and was pretty happy with the people. I've always avoided putting figures in landscapes and found it not quite as daunting as I expected.

This is beautiful! Good for you!
Great job Brenda! You are on a great roll here. I may have to look into this book if you keep tempting me. :)
Um, I knew it was snow right away, Brenda! Nice work.
Oh, lovely! You've really got that sense of depth in the forest that John was so good at. The figures add a real sense of scale, too--you did well!
Brenda, I like the way my eye is drawn down the middle to the distance - and like you - I am never comfortable adding figures - as Kate says, they give a real sense of scale to the scene.... lovely job on both of these.
