I like to set aside Wednesdays to trot out whatever artsy things I’ve been working on. I’ve been trying to be more disciplined about doing some sort of painting or drawing regularly.
The weekly watercolor:
The inspiration for the painting was something I found on Pinterest (as usual). ‘Twas a sad moment when I realized that my beautiful Pilot G-2 0.38 black pen did not have permanent ink. I’ll have to make sure and use one that doesn’t bleed next time.
In September of 2022 I had this idea to try to do my own book through a year, like Edith Holden’s “The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady.” I did three pages and then fizzled out. Here’s to trying it again with renewed determination and vigor!
Sadly, the same revelation about the ink pen I was using reared its ugly head on this page (I’d already done all the drawing before starting to paint both projects). Lesson learned. The goal is to do four pages per month. However, I don’t think I’ll be able to get it all done this year, so I’m giving myself a couple years to get through all the months.
Lastly, I’m working through a book called “50 Ways to Draw Your Beautiful Ordinary Life.” This week was lesson 2.
So far I’m unimpressed with the level of “instruction” for the lessons. There’s not much there other than to see what the illustrator did and try to copy it. No thoughts on perspective, angles, etc. I’ll keep going, though. One advantage is that there’s no real expectation of perfection or expertise – just draw the way you draw and see what happens.
