Soil is the first topic in Earth Textures - Chapter 5 of Creating Textures in Pen & Ink with Watercolor by Claudia Nice.
The soil isn’t the star of this picture, but is an important supporting player. The trees are one of the subjects I've drawn the most (apart from Elaine) and they’ve appeared in a number of previous posts:
- Drawing and Painting the Landscape – Partial Peek
- January 2016 Sketches
- Sketching Challenge – Week 2
- Studio Rousar Memory Drawing Group - Weeks 24 to 27
I struggled to think of an inspiring image of soil. In retrospect, I should have drawn a close up of a piece of garden – something like Albrecht Dürer’s Great Piece of Turf (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Piece_of_Turf).
