Fearless Friday, Sun Dappled Terrace
Welcome to the “Sun Dappled Terrace,” where you can dine al fresco and enjoy a view of the sea
This was inspired by the painting below, that I saw on Pinterest, but I wasn’t able to source the artist’s name
This was one of those things that when I saw it, I immediately thought “I’ve got to paint that!”
I think this scene would be beautiful in any medium, but I was in the mood to use marker and colored pencil
Since the subject was fairly complex, I began with a very light pencil sketch then began to add color
I spent a long time on the sketch, trying to get the proportions and angles right
Shading was added to the blue areas with white and blue colored pencil
Next came the flowers in a mix of pencil and marker
Shadows
Work on the window and more shadows
A white paint pen was used for the glass highlights
Light colored pencil in grays and browns shade the stone wall, with marker in some of the darker areas
Adding land and sea
Finishing the wall…

“9 x 12” mixed media on Bellofy Artist Pro Series mixed media paper
This is my favorite sketch book because it can be used with watercolor too, so if I decide to add watercolor at some point it works fine. You can get this on Amazon here
Have a creative day and Be Fearless!

Hi Jenna, oh I love this beautiful artwork you made! I really have to try and get back into doing some drawing with pencils and markers. I have been spending a lot of time crocheting and reading books right now. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing this at Cooking and Crafting with J & J.
