Gold Sketches on Black

Figure drawing with Helen Wilson canceled tonight.  Because its a night class the lighting for some of the poses is just hightlights.  I've tried some different gold materials to capture the highlights

Hope to try this again next week.

Quick Sketches

Some very quick sketches!  I wish I could keep up with the ED in May!

A Wire Demo!!

Guess what! Linda Doll, painter, digital photographer, graphic artist, instructor and juror of art contests. Can't be the demo artist for the Ramona Art Guild http://www.ramonaartguild.org/ tomorrow so they have asked me to demo WIREWORK!! This should be interesting! Looking back at some of my first wire sculpture , I've found some that would make a cool slideshow:

EDM #10 Draw your hand or 100 hands

I thought it would be good practice to draw one hundred hands! Another thought was to buy a large book at a thrift store, gesso the pages to use as a sketchbook for acrylics or oil sketches. The pages were too thin to have the gessoed pages work. So I decided to go ahead and sketch the hands in the book! It has been good practice, I made my left hand draw my right a few time as well (its showing improvement) I'm not comfortable defacing the book-copyright issues with the author etc. Interesting where the images in the book take you. It has been fun!
This is the book that the 100 hands started in, when I realized that they were all left hands I tried a few with my left hand drawing my right. Amazing how fast lefty wore out!

figure drawing!

Figure Drawing, heads only

Ink and watercolor wash, watercolor crayon and wash followed by 3 ink drawings and a 3 layered collage. My profile, links, and archives are at the bottom?? I have not "comment" on the last few posts, if you'd like to comment I guess you could on a post that still has comments?

Dancing With the Stars EDM Question "How do you draw people?"

The answer to the question is practice! Don't worry if your results are not wonderful. Keep at it!
This series of drawings was done last night in front of the TV. I've never watched Dancing With the Stars before. My mother-in-law was looking forward to the new season. I had the urge to sketch, so began! I think the fellow in the first one came out best. It was fun to try to do them quickly! Since most of my figure work is done with nude models it was interesting to try to get the clothing in motion. I have a series of little dancers in mind for a glass project so it was good practice.

Wire in and out of Fused Glass
