hello, this week...
I continued doing daily drawings in a pocket sized
sketchbook. this selection was done trying to capture
character while watching a jack reacher movie
had fun collaging together two previous drawings done in a
lynn whipple online workshop,
painted with liquid pencil by derwent. this was a gift that
and was quite fun. from what I understand, it is a type of
graphite in a water soluble binder. I used a brush and
moved around the pigment. It is kind of sticky. the more
water added, the looser the brush strokes,
decided to draw in an expressive style rather than
the classic figurative drawing in a life drawing drop in,
drew and painted on papers purchased from cyanotype
artist, krista mc curdy.
and I tried a few botanical cyano prints of my
own using wild flowers I picked on the road.
when I recap, it seems like I did a lot this week!
and this doesn't include cooking for two days for
a dinner party. gosh, I'm tired after looking back.
it's friday and this post is linked with friends at
paint party friday generously hosted by kristen and eva
