Wednesday, May 15, 2024 The Workshop: Morels and a Stick Figure

I went lap swimming today and decided to commemorate it with a sketch.

Stick figures are underrated, aren’t they? When you can communicate so much with a stick figure, where’s the motivation to draw something more precise?

Someone gave us some morel mushrooms recently (the first we’ve ever had). I thought I’d do a hasty sketch of a couple and then paint it, but the hasty sketch took me a long time – morels are fairly complex little dudes – and it became a full-fledged drawing. (I feel like writing a story: How Drawings are Born from Sketches. But I digress. As usual.)

Tomorrow I’ll follow up with a charming poem about morel mushrooms. Stay tuned!

  1. Love the drawing of the morels! You should write a story about them and call it “The Story of the Morel” (think about it a minute….)
