…day 32 of my daily art challenge
I’ve done blind contour drawings before. They are suppose to be a good way to warm up when you want to sketch an object. I took photos of the objects so that you can see what I was trying to draw blind and then semi-blind. After the warm-up I drew the object and then added watercolour.
…..days 42 and 43
Yesterday I left the house at 8:00 in the morning and didn’t get home till almost 8:00 in the evening. I spent the day cross country skiing but almost five hours of my day was spent on a bus getting to and from the ski centre. On the way home I pulled out my phone and my sketchbook and looked up some photos I had taken of flowers that I thought might make good subjects for sketching.
It was pretty dark in the bus so it was a good opportunity to work on my blind or semi-blind contour drawing skills.
Today I took those drawings and redrew them in a larger sketchbook, adding more detail and shading. With the rose I added colour with watercolours.
