I think I've finally wrapped my mind around the subtly of shadows on white objects. : )

drawing freely!

Recently, I spent some time sketching at the wonderful Toronto Music Gardens. I was inspired by a few wonderful books by the awesome NY artist Veronica Lawlor, about drawing free of judgement, analysis or interpretation. Just take the line for a walk! Google her and check out her work. Her drawings are fascinating.

So, working with a Micron 03 pen, I just drew what I saw as quick as I could.  Here are four more I did.

I really enjoyed this approach, loosening up as I went. Lots of drawings quickly, with no time to think in between. Now, to paint them... : )

One-Long-Line

I spent the weekend in a group art show selling my one-long-line drawings. I put them in colourful frames and they make wonderful gifts. Each one is different, and you can see the dot where I started and stopped.

Wow, that was a real 50/50 split on the suggestions of how to crop this painting. I decided that a few extra people were cuter than a 'not so beautifully painted' sky. Thanks everyone for participating!

with flying colours

This adorable small house caught my eye, and there was a place to sit across the way... Perfect! I'm enjoying working with the Micron 03 and Micron 1 artist pens lately.

I've been wanting to explore painting boats for a long time now. They have great shape and wonderful colours. If you look close, you'll see some cars parked behind the wall back there...
