A sketch a day shouldn't be difficult to achieve but committing to post it on my blog somehow turns a simple task into something quite scary. Anyway here goes.........
Still Life Blind Ink Drawing
Apple Orange and Poppy Seed Heads
Still Life 2 Blind Ink Drawing
Glass with Poppy Seed Heads
I love the naivety and fragility of these drawings. This technique gives me permission to loosen up and the drawings then become full of life which would not have happened if I had allowed my perfectionism to take over. It takes away the fear of making a mistake ....there are no wrong marks. Suddenly it's ok to use pen. I don't have to rub out. I am drawing every line as my eye follows it. My hand can only take instructions from my eyes and I draw exactly what I see.
These look great!!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWow these are lovely Ann! So delicate. You've inspired me to give this a go as I have become far too dependant on looking at the paper more than the subject!
ReplyDeleteNice sketches :)
Thank you. It really makes you look at what you're drawing. Go for it Kirsty...it's great fun.
