I challenged myself to draw some difficult angles.  Foreshortening.  I've done two so far and see improvement.

Ukiyo-e

7/15/2013

 
Saturday I went to the museum and made some thumbnail sketches of Japanese woodblocks prints, but I wanted to try a full size drawing.  Here is my version of Hiroshige's "Sailing Boats at Arai".

Trip to the Museum

7/14/2013

 
I took a trip to our local art museum, The Chazen, and did some sketching.  Then I hit the beach where I did a few more sketches.  Practicing and looking at other artists work.  What a great way to spend a day.  This is the way I wish I could work all the time.

Trying Something New

7/8/2013

 
I decided to go back to some colored pencil today, thought I'd try out some new techniques.  These are some collard leaves from my garden.

Easy Day

7/4/2013

 
A day off work allowed me to have a nice easy slow start to the day.  Reading and taking notes in my journal with my coffee cup by my side.  After the holiday cook out, I took a little time alone to do some drawing.  I love a lazy day.

Busy Week Sketches

7/2/2013

 
I've been drawing and sketching this week in the moments that I can.  Busier than normal this week.  Here are some of the things I've been up to.

I'm reading a biography of Julius Caesar and thought I'd give him a quick drawing.

"Landscape Grass in Summer Sun" - another quick drawing this time over lunch break.
