In the anxious rush to put paint on paper I foolishly neglected to really look at the values first and made a bit of a mess. But it was fun to get into the paint.
Collected Coral and Shells
I like the shapes and textures. There’s more of the collection to be sketched.
Start Small
Had trouble getting started today at the “stitch (or sketch) and b___h” get together. My fellow sketcher’s advice was to “start small, draw the candles.” It was good advice. The candles were on a remarkable, intricate and unusual tablecloth.
Then I quickly tackled the big stuff in the next room, while enjoying Babs pumpkin loaf.
Deja vu
Revisited subjects, much room for improvement. In fact, earlier drawings were better. Hand sore after painting today (walls, not paper) — not conducive to pencil work.
Orchid Leaves
The flowers are always spectacular, but the leaves can also be intriguing, and challenging to convey the way they deserve. I will try again.
Paws
Now and then he actually sits still for a few minutes.
Cat Nap
He’s in his favourite chair, not a cage.
