Last time I posted it was Christmas time, and now it’s easter. And I’m still waiting for that surgery. My local hospital gave up on me, and sent my papers and other info to a bigger place across the country. Now I’m waiting for a word from there.
Meanwhile I started drawing, I’ve been doing some graphite drawings. I looked through my works from last year, and what I liked most was a very basic drawing of a dog’s head, drawn in graphite. I have been playing around with watercolor as well, but it seems to be frustrating more than inspiring at the moment. Nevertheless, I think I’m making some progress with my painting skills.
I got some narcissus in a pot for easter, they were beautiful while they lasted. I made a sketch from life for a watercolor painting, but the flowers wilted before I had a chance to finish that. Instead I made this graphite drawing from one of the photos I had taken.
I used pencils from 2H to 2B, but I’m missing the F grade from my kit. I also used a technical pen, 0,5 lead in HB.
I hope to have more work to post soon, I’m working on another graphite drawing and I’m considering digging up my colored pencils, too. My darling husband came home the other day with a drawing table. It’s waiting in the carage, I need to clean up some space for it first. It’s quite big, but it’s adjustable and with some modifications maybe I can use it for painting as well. It’s an old table from an architect who was throwing it away, when my husband ran to the rescue!
The spring is arriving here, slow but steady. I’m going to be ready with my camera and sketchbook, when the first leaves and flowers show up.
