New paintings and regular art updates.
Profile doodle. I drew a pattern then erased the shape of a face. I could try and make this different by changing it from positive to negative. I’ve started drawing a bit more and began a painting of a galleon at sunset yesterday. It’s not finished but I will post it later.
Artrage oils drawing from 7 years ago. Popped up on my Facebook memories. I love the way you could use metallic brushes to create this. It’s sort of mid way between a butterfly and a pigeon. It’s a good memory.
Describe a family member.
So how to do describe a family member? The wrinkles on their face? Their hair colour, skin colour, other physical attributes? Height, weight, hairstyle, glasses or not.
Faces are square, firm jawed, soft skinned, made up, lipstick, mascara. Eye colour, hair colour.
Musical, artistic, crafty, cook, reader, tidy scruffy or normal?
Add a few of these as a combination…
Arthritic, short, hairy, smiling, vegetarian, rock chick?
Or balding, bearded, blue eyed, tall, scruffy, and a mechanic.
A person may describe me in one way, someone else in another. Without facial recognition would you recognise me from my description? How many other people fit the discription?
My family members will remain hidden from the Internet. Because I don’t want to share. I think that’s fair enough.
Trying to draw part of a Renoir painting yesterday was hard work. I didn’t get the shape exactly right, and trying to use felt pens was hard too as I only had a limited range of colours. I didn’t do a good job of the hand on the woman’s shoulder, the felt pens bled and I really should have used a fine liner pen. But at least I completed a challenge.
#bandofsketchers prompt still life…. Still catching up. Still life with mugs, why use one when you still have plenty available. Last night’s horde! Black ink drawing. I just washed them up.
Finally completed our Orme art summer challenge. Choose a section of a Renoir and Degas painting and copy it in paint or another medium. The top images are my felt pen attempts today.
This came up on Facebook memories and I thought it was so close to how I’m feeling now. Jangling nerves, my heartbeat spikey, thoughts all over the place moving at a million miles a second. Suspicious of everyone. Anxiety and tiredness mixed into a morass of stress. It’s been a bad few days and I don’t know if it’s going to get better. Fingers crossed.
Artrage oils digital drawing.
Another #bandofsketchers catch up. Prompt was vehicle. Digital drawing, in Artrage app. I’m up late because someone was in the garden. We rang the police and they are trying to catch them. Can’t sleep so drew a green car.
Hardware was the prompt. One of the circular padlocks I got for our sheds after they got broken into. Felt pen and ink pen. #bandofsketchers.
Under his foot, my cat washing his back paw. I’ve been meaning to catch up with my sketching so this is a start…for #bandofsketchers prompt under your foot from a few weeks ago. Black ink and felt pens.
