horse gestures






Having a blast with pencil, drawing these horse gestures! I spent some time reviewing horse anatomy, from one of my favourite animal drawing books by Jack Hamm called "How to Draw Animals". Then, with the help of free images from pixabay, I drew as many as I could, as fast as I could. : )

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.

cul-de-sac

Well. This piece changed a million times as I painted it. What a battle! But, I like it.

don't over think it



The spontaneity of life drawing is so wondrous. When you only have 20 minutes to finish a painting it turns out completely differently than if you had lots of time to think about it.

life drawing studies



Last night's life drawing class. I worked with a 6B pencil and then added cadmium red and mineral purple to these 5 minute poses. I think I prefer them with a little bit of wild splatter (top one), it compliments the gesture aspect.

petals


I just discovered Winsor Red! What a wonderful colour. It was perfect for the vase with these little guys, which I painted for the challenge at A Nos Pinceaux.
