I’ve gotten through 18 of the 50 Ways to Draw Your Beautiful Ordinary Life, which was a Christmas gift to me. My goal is to finish it in 2024 and then pass the book on to someone else, so I haven’t done any drawings in the book. It is pristine. Here are the June drawings (#13-16). Why did I put stickers on the page? Just me being weird with my sticker obsession, I guess.
By the way, I’ve never seen a fruit wrapper – how is this a thing?
Then I painted a couple babies. The first one is much smaller, but the paper was horrible. The paint wouldn’t glide over the surface but stuck and even bled through to the back. I don’t know where that paper came from. I did a larger baby on better paper, but which I liked less.
I’ve developed a relationship with a poinciana tree now. I’ve stared at the photo for long and soulful periods of time. I’ve done sketches and then a small painting. This time I tried an 8.5 x 11 sized one. I’m not sure this relationship is going well.
Tell me what you think. How close am I getting? The tree trunk on my painting is too big…AGAIN.
That’s the workshop report this week!
I’m throwing this blog post wrapper in the trash in the morning.
