Second week of drawing
I finished 70 sketches last week, and I signed on again for this week. I'll miss today because a friend is having a paint in/out at her B&B and is also showing a watercolor DVD.
For this one done from a photo I took on a morning walk along the lake, I didn't have any pencils that were dark, so I gave up and used pen. So now it is multi-media.

Registering at the Rhein Center
If the wind settles down, or picks up, which ever the case may be, and there is a kids' sail sponsored by the Society of Old Salts (SOS), I'll be helping to register people at the Rhein Center today in my husband's place who just loves to help with that Sunday sailing activity. If too many people sign up for a class, then there is a "lottery."
My resolve to keep drawing or painting, hasn't gone too far. I did sketch an artificial arrangement, but started in lead then switched to colored pencil, which doesn't work.

First pastel painting
Today at the Rhein Center I participated in a pastel class with Joan Garvarek. Not exactly a keeper, but she told us to hang on to it so that if we continue in this medium we'll be able to see improvement. I sat at a table with a very enthusiatic child and the table was constantly wiggling. Also, there were so many light sources, this gourd had 6 shadows, so I just chose two.

No scanner
I don't have a scanner connected to my laptop, so I'll have to go the digital route. This is the first drawing of the summer. I was sitting on a bench at Hoover Auditorium in Lakeside looking at the tiny, narrow cottage across the street on Walnut. The angle wasn't good. My husband is teaching perspective drawing this week, but no matter how often I take it, I still draw the same old way--I eyeball it. One thing I left out is the For Sale sign in front. No yard to take care of and you could hear all the programs across the street without going out.
