Window Drawing

 

This is a drawing I debated whether to add to the spring virtual drawing class that I'm currently teaching.  There ended up not being enough time for all the references I wanted to use.  I loved this window but it was very time consuming, so the reference will be added for homework or practice idea.  I draw all my photo references before having the class try them to insure they will work for our class time.  Extra practice for me which is a bonus.

I've been giving the class some challenging pieces and so far they haven't rebelled.  I try to balance the challenging pieces with some simpler ones.  Next week the class will be working on toned paper with an added white colored pencil, one of my favorite drawing techniques.

Watering Can Drawing

 

My spring drawing class started last week and I've been busy drawing again, All Things Spring this time.  I found a bunch of photo references on pixabay.com, the watering can is one of them.  My students will be doing the watering can in our next class.  The watering can reference is a good exercise in negative space, the background is what makes this drawing so interesting, all the space around the can indicating plants.

I'm also busy sewing, it's been years and I needed some summer PJ's.  I looked all over the internet for PJ's and found only one thing which was priced at $100.  No way!  So I put on my sewing hat and got busy, it's been a nice break from painting.

I will post some more drawings soon.
