Dinner for One

Drawing #29
Graphite and pastel

I only just got this finished....a million things to do today and not enough time! I didn't even get a painting started, the thought was there but it never got any further than that! I enjoyed drawing my spoon and plate (Feb 28th post) so why not try a knife and fork with a dinner plate and a serviette thrown in as well...on a day when my time is short!!!

Before Breakfast

Drawing #22
Graphite and Pastel

I did not know what to draw today!  My mind was blank! I usually have an idea of what I want to do...but not today!! I looked at my plate sitting on the bench before breakfast and thought it would be easy to draw...it wasn't!! The spoon was easy but the plate did my head in, however I  got it done... after screwing up the first try this is it!

Lemons and Limes

Drawing#4
Pen and Watercolor Sketch

My drawing for today! I use lemons and limes a lot when I'm cooking...so always have a good supply on hand. I had these cut up on a plate but decided to draw them without it. I am giving myself 30-60 minutes to do a drawing each day, that way I can fit it around my daily painting and larger work!

New tool
I have just bought this handy MVP tool (Artists mirror, Value viewer and Planner) from Peggy Kroll Roberts. They are organized, easy to use and  are on a lanyard... you can hang them on your easel so you don't lose them!! Great idea....take a look here
