Blurry Photos

This is from a _very_ blurry photo I took while stalking other's people dogs on the street. Sometimes blurry photos are the best to draw from, they force you to see only the essential details. It is easier to make yourself fill in the rest.

Blue and orange

and pink.

Gotta love her puppy eyes!

Reddish purple

Thank you to whoever left their cute dog waiting outside Beretta!

Can you tell he was not fond of the camera?



March-April Sketching

From March - April

October sketchbook

Long overdue

These are some more of the better pages from October last year.

 

Sketchbooking

One of the first things my travel sketching instructor told the class was to get a hardbound book.

So I got my first hardbound book. That was back in October. I only have a few pages left!

The hardbound book forces the perfectionst part of us to give up trying, because the inevitable, unintentional lines will always happen. Then you become free to experiment.

Since October, I have been routinely sketching (almost) every Monday at a cafe, and every Tuesday at a figure drawing group. Before I knew it, the pages had filled up! I will run out of paper next week. :)

I have not been able to take pictures and have them look OK. It seems the sun is always already down when I remember to take pictures! Here are a few I took a while ago. These are some of the very first pages of the sketchbook.

Soon I'll pick a few favorites from the rest of the book.
