Sketches and Musings

  • Daddy/Daughter Breakfast 14MAR2014

    The little girl was feeling empathy for her mom today. We lost a dear friend and the bride is pretty sad about it. So she drew her something Halloweeny. We might be strange, but we understand each other.  :)

  • $10 All You Can Art Fridays 14MAR2014

    Tonight was an impromptu workshop on how to draw fur.

    The hardest part of this process is waiting for the layers to dry.

    While the paint was drying, I took the opportunity to decoupage some of Girl2’s love notes to the studio fridge.

    These are my results from the workshop. Of course you knew I had to draw a cat.

  • What this is all about Jan 2014

    What happens with the money when you donate or buy t-shirts and lessons?

    On the first Saturday of every month we host a free art experience for the community children.  This month, Sue was helping the children make collages.

    We had 12 registered this month and a few siblings sat in as well.  After watching how much fun the kids were having, the parents approached us for a grown up version.  Some day, we hope to make that happen.

  • Watercolor Wednesday 04DEC2013

    image

    I’ve decided to use Wednesdays as an opportunity to hone my watercolor skills. One thing I notice about practice is that no one really wants to do it.  They’ll use any excuse they can to get out of it.  MY favorite excuse is that I don’t know what to paint/draw/make love to/ whatever.  That’s when the Every Day Matters group comes in. They have a continiously growing list of everyday matters that make Every Day Matter.  Today, number 1, is “Draw a Shoe”.

  • Figure Mondays 02DEC2013

    image

    I’m a bit rusty on my figure drawing. So, aside from the nightly 5 minute nudes, I’ll be doing some figure drawing on monday nights.
