After some major cleaning I sat down in front of CNN and took a few minutes to sketch the coleus stems I have rooting in a water glass. I used watercolor pencils. No, the glass is not on a tilt - that's my drawing flaw....
I was winding down this evening and suddenly realized I hadn't done any drawing ALL day. That would be okay except that I've admitted that what I really want is to learn how to draw and that takes practice, practice, practice. And more practice. On a daily basis. So I sat down with a grid and drew several shoes from nearby photos and a catalog. And then I just couldn't bear to draw one more shoe -- so I ended up with an orange. These were made with a black Micron pen and Caran d'Ache watercolor pencils (which I really, really like) in my new Moleskin sketchbook. It's after midnight - already tomorrow - so can I go to sleep now?
