Pages: 1 rodelaet Post Laureate Reged: 04/28/06 Loc: 50°56' N - 4°58' E (Belgium) Venus and the lighthouse.       #3004297 - 03/25/09 03:33 PM Attachment (110 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Here is a late sketch of Venus, the evening star. Venus was shining high and bright on the evening of January 11th, 2009. I finally found some time to finish the sketch. Most items of the scenery are quite easy to draw. The lighthouse is only a silhouette against the sky, but our mind fills in the rest of the details. The trees were difficult at first, until I managed to get them in the same perspective as the lighthouse. I hope you like my impression. Sketch made with Corel Photo Paint.

It does leave me wondering why you didn't light up the lighthouse though. Post Extras:       rodelaet Post Laureate Reged: 04/28/06 Loc: 50°56' N - 4°58' E (Belgium) Re: Venus and the lighthouse.
