Meat Free Monday

Drawings to help spread the word and support the Meat Free Mondays Campaign. : ) #veggiemealstoday 

Meat Free Mondays

I've been promoting Meat Free Mondays, sometimes called Meatless Mondays, on my social media. It's a popular slogan asking people to consider having vegetarian meals at least one day a week. I thought these cute sketches of cows, pigs and chickens would help spread the word!

Life Drawing Show!

SOLD

This is just one of three portraits that I have hanging at the Heliconian Club in Toronto this month. Come by and say Hi at 35 Hazelton Ave. I'll be there from 1-2pm.

And here are a few charcoal studies that I did before completing the finished gouache painting. Hope to see you this weekend!

Toronto Arts and Crafts Sale 2018

One-Long-Line Drawings

I'm all prepared for the show tomorrow. I'll be selling my original watercolour paintings and my One-Long-Line Drawings. They are so fun to draw. I just keep my pen on the paper and let the line wander. 

This is my 7th year in the show. I love it! Come by my table on the main floor and say Hi.

Dogs, Dogs, Dogs!

click on arrow for a 7 second slideshow ; )

As you can see, I've been sketching and painting dogs lately.

The slideshow was fun to put together, with help of the free slideshow app, although it's a bit tricky to line the photos up nicely, let alone remembering to take them along the way! It's not a great video, so I may upgrade to a better slideshow app...!

The four drawings were done in my sketchbook with 6B pencil.

Happy Year of the Dog!!

Dogs and Cats and Shows!

Here are a few pages I just finished in my sketchbook. ; )

I've been crazy busy preparing for the Don Valley Art Club Show, which opens this Wednesday, and my Saturday Arts and Crafts Show. However, I always find time for some drawing. 

Here are the show evites again. Hope to see you there!

I'll be selling my original watercolours and one-long-line drawings this Saturday. This will be my third year involved with this wonderful show at:

310 Danforth (near Chester), Toronto

Over 40 vendors selling all kinds of stuff! 

Other news... working on a way of shading my drawings without hatching or watercolour. I did these on newsprint with a charcoal pencil.

buffalo and barbary sheep

I had a great time doing gestural sketches of the animals at High Park Zoo over the weekend. Usually it's difficult to drawn them as they're on the move, but I think the lovely sunny Sunday we had kept them relaxed. The buffalo have huuuuggge heads... but they're still cute!
