Beach Dreaming

 

One of the drawings from the Virtual Winter drawing class I'm currently teaching.  The theme was travel and winter get aways.  We've been drawing, sail boats, palm trees, a still life of a smoothie in glass stemware with all the fun embellishments of a bar drink.  You have to order one of those when on vacation right?  It's been a fun journey with my twelve students.  I may post some student work later.

I'll be teaching a virtual spring drawing class beginning March 27th for eight weeks through Rumriver Art Center.  The bees will be buzzing, flowers blooming as we explore drawing methods and techniques such as line, shape, value, proportion and composition using a variety of pencils.  For more information here is a link to the class posting.

My virtual Intro To Drawing class Just finished this drawing Monday.  I found this image on pixabay.com and loved the design however it needed to be cropped as it was to long and we added the bottom leaf for a better composition.  The class did some amazing drawings!  This was a lesson on values and we discussed negative space.  Next week we will continue to discuss negative space and it's importance for getting correct proportions along with comparative measuring.

Hopefully I can get in some paint time this week!  I have a start using masking gum, still working on some abstracts.  Watercolor paper taped down and mask applied, next step is paint.  I'm going back and forth whether to use watercolor or acrylics, Hmmmmm.
