Still Life 1. Slowing down and observing, Draw and apple as you eat it. It is a hard thing to do once you bite into the apple, to stop and draw it. You want to keep eating it. Definitely a practice in patience.
This year my family decided to make Valentine's cards instead of buying them. I used my collection of art supplies and went to work. These are the two I made. Creating the cards made this special occasion even more special.
I came home from work to a beautiful sunny day 72 degrees. I went out on our deck and decided to sketch the tree in from of me. Although it is still "winter" and the tree is bare, it has the buds starting on it, showing signs of spring, YEAH!!!. This is a red maple. It has bright red/orange leaves in the fall. I used my new Noodler's Ahab flex pen and DeAtramentis black ink. I went straight to ink and love the expressive lines I can get with the pen. Normally I would do a minimal setup but, today I went straight to pen. Enjoyed the process!!!
