My version of John Harrison’s class..we got something worthwhile from his lesson. Yes, I could have gone darker for the sky but this was progress for me!

Here's a rather wonky building I sketched along with John Harrison and Etchr Studio's course on painting Moody Skies  - such a lovely way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Really enjoyed the course with John Harrison. Tried to make it my own and went straight in with the fountain pen, so to quote John, there may be a line or two in the wrong place.
