Hi, Hive friends! I did a quick study sketch of Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy. We went here last year in the summer after visiting my husband's relatives. Many times, I've seen a lot of sketches and paintings of Mont-Saint-Michel on my newsfeed so I got interested to draw it.
Here is a reference photo personally taken at Mont-Saint-Michel. I just zoomed it in to get some details.
I started with a sketch using an HB pencil. I outlined the abbey using gray color pens.
I colored the grasses, yellow-green and green.
Color brown for the dirt, soil, or ground.
I started to color the sky blue using Morandi acrylic pens.
I thought I was going to leave some blank space on the clouds but decided to fill in some little sky blues.
I used white ink for the clouds. I used dark blue Morandi acrylic pens to outline the clouds. But ended up coloring around the clouds.
I felt unsatisfied because the color looked so dull so I added violet and pink colors in the sky using colored pens.
I added two groups of birds flying above the abbey.
Still, I am not happy even though violet and pink were present in the skies.
I added royal blue above the skies. Now, I am happy and satisfied with the result.
Well, it was indeed a quick sketch study of Mont Saint Michel just to test myself if I could draw it. But I would also love to paint it. :D

We took a bus going to Mont Saint Michel from the parking lot where we parked our car. You can choose to walk or take a bike. But we also got the chance to visit the church upstairs, it was tiring taking the steps. Haha!
