My daughter did this sketch a month or so ago at the art studio where she works. I knew as soon as I saw her photos of the progression she took on it, I knew I wanted to sketch it. But with high prioritizing my mobility exercises (at various times throughout my day), prepping food and cooking then performing the subsequent clean-up, working on reformatting the paperback version of my book, doing interviews and Zoom calls to promote it, reading and working through about 6 books, reviewing and posting video book reviews of such, and attending a book club, plus a variety of summertime things going on while the granddaughters are off school, and walking with hubby (sometimes to our local coffee shop for brunch or other times for lunch or an early dinner at another local place)–this blog totally takes a back seat! Whew!
I’m betting at least some of you can relate though and have just as much going on.
Now, here are the sketch progressions:
But I finally broke open the new pack of pencils I bought and erasers, AND I did actually use an eraser on this sketch a few times, so yes, I can see where these are going to help improve all of my future sketches quite a bit! Thank you to my dear fellow blogger and long distance “soulie” friend, Linda Lewis (watercolor sketch artist and weight loss inspiration to me). I think Linda may love this–though I couldn’t figure how to do the water very well either. Linda and I have chatted about how to create a more fluid water look.
I stopped a few times to check to see if I was enjoying the sketching. While I can’t say I smiled much throughout this, I think it’s because I still see it as another task to get done. And then, also to try and “get right.” But I keep reminding myself that Art can communicate more than words and connects us in my subconscious ways. And THAT makes me happy.
