Not tea cups like Liz Steel draws, but great practice in finding and losing edges.

Sketching Now Edges Class
Liz Steel's class Sketching Now Edges began this past week. Our first sketching assignment is a pair of shoes. We practiced using line to define hard edges and then color for surface edges defined by color changes and values. The second part was for an outside object. I found a metal sculpture in a center square of a shopping mall. It was hot out, 98 deg, and humid, so I worked fast and the glare on the metal made it hard to see the edges. I am still not comfortable working out on location, but I am working on it.
Sunbathing Bullfrog
This summer two bullfrogs decided to take up residence in our pond. When I went out to the pond today, to check on our fish, one of the frogs was sitting on a rock sunbathing. I went back into the house to get my supplies and carefully set up as close to him as I could to sketch him. He was so accommodating and stayed still for about 20 minutes while I sketched. As I was adding watercolor to him in my sketch, I heard a loud splash and looked up... he was gone. I guess he had had enough..
Purses!
As seen in InStyle magazine. Since I can't or wouldn't spend the money on them, at least I can draw them!
