Lately, I have bought into the lie I didn't have time to draw due to all the travelind and work that I am doing. I can do this while waiting for aomeone for an appointment at the restraunts, etc. Happy drawing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20936570.post-15939994676649275362007-05-29T16:26:00.000+02:002007-05-29T16:26:00.000+02:00Thank you so much for posting this!

I recently went to the local zoo and tried to sketch people along with the animals, but ended up very frustrated because people and animals were just moving too fast. I think I will try this approach this week when I go back. Great sketches, btw.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20936570.post-57750874643006598112007-05-28T05:42:00.000+02:002007-05-28T05:42:00.000+02:00What a great idea - to just capture the essence of...What a great idea - to just capture the essence of a person without getting caught up in all the details. I'm sure the hardest part is to just give yourself permission to loosen up, but you have encouraged me and I can't wait to try it. Thank you. BTW - Lovely stuff you've been posting lately. Those hands are beautiful. I really need to remember to visit more often.jujhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297173587055224228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20936570.post-38881536496006784082007-05-23T17:39:00.000+02:002007-05-23T17:39:00.000+02:00I tried this today, Nina, while sitting on a bench...I tried this today, Nina, while sitting on a bench watching people in the sunshine. I may post it up at some point. Pleased to have achieved something in so short a time (as usual, while M slept in her pushchair!)

Thank you for the description of how you go about doing this - you make something that seems daunting sound like a lot of fun. <BR/><BR/>I was pinned to the sofa one morning by my sleeping baby daughter, and with my free arm I decided to do some 30-second sketches of people on the tv. A few of them captured the gesture really effectively, and some of them were rubbish. I accept now that much of what goes into my little "tv sketching" book may not be good art, but it's great practice.E-Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365028887954425204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20936570.post-2498420443912387392007-05-22T09:25:00.000+02:002007-05-22T09:25:00.000+02:00They're great drawings, and a great explanation of...They're great drawings, and a great explanation of how to approach them.

Everything is brilliant but what holds my attention is this contours with painted background. Next saturday I'll be sketching in a square, if it doesn't rain, so I think I'll try something like that in a few, can I? They look great. Best wishes, and thanks for your comments in my blog.dibujandoartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982984477095682281noreply@blogger.com
