Pink Ribbon and Lace

Drawing #51
Graphite and Gouache

I like drawing  head studies in black and white...especially the backview! When I did my drawing diploma I always enjoyed drawing texture and still do. It's good to just pick up a pencil and paper..not having to clean brushes and palette...keeping it simple!!

Needles and Thread

Drawing #40

Graphite and Gouache

Well I thought I would do a quick drawing today because I was short on time....big mistake!! Even though I took a photo of my bigger needles, enlarged them on my moniter and drew from that, these were not easy. It's  easier to get the shiny look of steel with paint, another good exercise! I can't believe I have done 40 drawings...still a long way to go!

Friends

Drawing #36

Pencil and Gouache

I came across these two girls near the Marina sitting on the grass  chatting... I was there to take photos of the boats but ended up sketching and taking photos of them instead!  I like it when that happens! It's completely spontaneous...the boats will always be there but this was too good to miss! I loved drawing them, wondering what they were talking about! I added a bit of color as always!!
