Happy Cactus Monday ... a part of an earlier art quilt
My drawing class was a week ago yesterday. This first exercise was about cross overs. I can see my mistakes well here and in the drawings I posted yesterday too. At least I am seeing them. Hopefully the next step is in correcting them. This exercise was in proportions
contour drawing of my own hand
contour drawing of a class mate
the black above the eye was another mistake
it should have been just water on a cue tip to get shading from the ink
not India ink
ditsy me
not listening to directions well
I think this may have been blind drawing with just a bit of sneak a peek
same classmate...contour drawing big sneak a peeks
I brought my little water color kit to class so painted it at lunchtime
last exercise at the end of the day of 3 quickly done contour drawing of two classmates
and the teacher, he is the guy at the bottom.
YES in EVERY WAY!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust so lovely! Love those colors!
I always call you a wizard and this proves it!
The cactus is wonderful as well!
And you are really practising all kind of techniques! Creativity in abundance!
HCM!
I could do with following your drawing exercises myself. Awareness is the first step to drawing, the more you do it the more you see. I haven't done any drawing for ages, you inspire to have another go!

ReplyDeleteI love your cactus. I agree with Marianne too. I love the mandalas.
Great mandala's. and drawing exercises. I have done those too in a drawing on the right side of the brain class I took years ago. Love the cactus too.

I have a feeling one day I'll commission something quilted from you. I love the little small ones as well - I can't remember what you call them.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a mandala to me! Have fun in the drawing class. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks all. So nice to hear your lovely comments here today.
ReplyDeleteMarianne and Kelly thanks for validating this as being a mandala! This leads me where i need to go for a new quilt project.
Elspeth, that would be wonderful, and the little ones are called ATCs or Artist Trading Cards. They are to TRADE!!!!
Yes this is a Mandala. And I love the cactus...you are having too much fun...Happy Fall, Mary
ReplyDeleteYour class sounds like fun and you are learning when you can see your mistakes and learn from it.

HCM, Lynn!
Well I guess I'll have to make an ACT. Are they all made of cloth and what are the specs? I never paid attention to those details. I'll email you.
