Welcome

This is about improving our drawing experiences, and hopefully have something to build on and expand our critiques. If you have a drawing you want to talk about, you should be able to post pictures and comments. If you have difficulty, just email me! Should be fun! Thanks!

Drawing 11-27-12

It has been quite a while since the wheels came off the cart, and I have been able to create anything I thought was worth looking at. This is the final drawing of the night - the others did not promise this ending. Been struggling with an idea about how to start and develop a drawing in a more "painterly" style with pastels, decided to slow down and look instead of jumping in. Had been practicing just blocking in basic areas of color specifically lights and darks, and then refining as time permitted. -This has been good practice but not producing exciting drawings, or even completed drawings, and things have been looking pretty stiff in spite of the idea of loosening up. So in complete frustration, I gave up (mostly); just started responding in a more typical way for me - more spontaneous and voila! - the result! I like this one!

    that's a nice one! right down to the light stripe in the background and the drawn pencil (?) lines. Love that red blanket.
