Sketching Polar Bears On A Glacier

Shari Blaukopf is a master at painting snow.  I am not.  Whenever I try I feel like I’m sketching a polar bear on a glacier.  Everything is white.  Yesterday I tried again, working from a photo I took from the window of the Maison Dorion-Coulombe, the site of our recent sketchcrawl.  I always feel that my sketching from photos reflects too much my disinterest in sketching from photos but still, I should be able to do better.  I thought I’d share the results with you anyways.  Maybe I’ll get better at snow…some day.
