Back At It

I finally started drawing again the other day. I've had high hopes of getting lots of painting in this summer and decided to finally start back into things by sitting down to draw. I'll have to say I loved every minute of it!! So this up-coming week my goal is to draw for at least 30 min every day. Hopefully I'll be able to keep this train going!

The first go in a long while: a 30 min contour drawing of some flowers sitting on our table. (The idea of a contour drawing is you use one continous line to describe the contours of an object without erasing or blocking in. You just pick a point and start drawing!) I will admit I did cheat a little and lifted my pencil a couple of times and I'm seriously RUSTY but it was definitely a good way to get back into the groove- slowly but surely! :)

Ooh! I've been wanting some black and white sketches for my library. Let me know when you start selling copies! That's awesome.

That's amazing! You are such a good artist. There's a new show on Bravo called Work of Art and it's like a Top Chef kind of show. I think you'd really like it. I'll probably watch it.

That's awesome! It doesn't look like you're very rusty to me. When you get back will you do some art for me? You'll have to post more pictures of the art you come up with. I'm with mom, you do have such a great talent!
