This year I am doing something a little different. I have salvaged all those one or two unused pages at the end of my almost full sketch books and there is a pile of paper at least the equivalent of a new book. My first "book" of the year has all different sized pages and I am eager to get started but first here are a few pages from 2014.<br />
<br />
Have a happy and creative 2015 <br />

The paint dries on top of the paper and is not absorbed. One of the advantages is that you can wash it off! It has a very slick surface and is fun to paint on.<br />

The goal of the workshop was to imply texture without painting every blade of grass. I am a big fan of random marks made with brushwork or with spatter and quite literally throwing the paint at the paper. With practice, you can usually get the paint in the general area that you wanted.<br />
The class called this the "splash, splat and thump technique."<br />
Here are 4 of my demonstration pieces. I think it makes more sense to see the techniques demonstrated within the context of a painting rather than in isolation as "this is grass or this is distant trees" so started 4 separate compositions. I might continue working on these today. <br />
<br />
These are all painted on 10 x 14 inch sheets <br />

I promised to do some work on creating the illusion of textures in the landscape using watercolor. I love winter paintings but I think that most people have had enough of winter in this part of the world so I wanted to do a summer painting. I chose a subject that has lots of opportunity for implying texture and while I might not use this much texture in most of my work, it was a good sample for the class.<br />

Next is a colour study (little sketch beside the drawing). It is very helpful have a colour pallet in mind before you start on the painting.<br />

Most of the background is in place at this stage.<br />
Sorry I did not take more photos as the painting progressed but sometimes you just need to keep going. <br />

I did 4 demonstrations of texture techniques and will show photos of these in another post.<br />

Perhaps we are much more accepting of a more generic representation of a certain breed "looking just like" our beloved pet. or may be I just find it more challenging to draw my own species. <br />

I am working diligently on my portrait practice but still with mixed results. Here are two of my recent drawings.<br />

This pretty young woman had a very concerned look on her face but I could not resist the chance to render her beautiful hair in sanguine pastel.<br />
The original drawing is a little lighter than shown here and looks less severe because of the lighter tones.<br /><br />

Ink and watercolour, 7 x 11 inches<br />
<br />
I find it much easier to do a continuous line drawing of a face in profile than straight on. Not all of the shapes are accurate and you can see some places where I have made restatements of the lines. The watercolour wash serves to add a little shading.<br />
It even kind of looks like Don.Louise Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18117716730714343199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156853184212884214.post-2092759485959849012014-02-08T15:32:00.000-04:002014-02-08T15:32:18.686-04:00Portrait StudiesI have spent my time this year further developing my drawing skills and portrait drawing is a great way to challenge your skills of observation and accuracy of execution. My hope is that this attention to detail will help with all of my drawing.<br />
I have been trying various methods and procedures and will write about that another time. <br />
<br />
I have been working from life but so far, these drawings are not ready for public review! By the way, I am in need of models who would like to sit for an hour or so for me and as long as you do not expect a great work of art or even a very good likeness to result, I could really use the practice.<br />
<br />
The portraits below have been drawn from photographs. Some of my first attempts represent only a passing likeness of the subject. I am feeling more confident with the process of portrait drawing and continue to work on accuracy.<br />

The last 4 classes featured drawing demonstrations and lessons by guest artists, Bonny Baker, Peter Smith, Ray Sanford and Cluny Maher. Each of these accomplished artists has a style and approach to drawing that is unique to them. I hope that students are encouraged to seek there own style and develop an approach to drawing that suits their own personality and artistic goals.<br />
<br />
I have been inspired by examining the work of other artists (including my students!) and here are some recent examples from my sketch book.<br />
<br />

These first 2 are little compositional sketches. They are 4 x 4 inches. These are a little larger than my normal thumbnails so they give me more room to experiment within the format.<br />
this is a great way to improve your painting and drawing. It is not about accurate shapes so much as it is about design on a 2 dimensional surface,<br />
Thanks Andi for inadvertently leaving your book behind - I love new art books.<br />

I added a lot more value and detail and used a blending pen to do some of the shading. I had never seen these pens before and they give some interesting results. I think the pen has a mixture of glycerin and rubbing alcohol in it. It makes the graphite act like water soluble pencil. It also "fixes" the graphite so you can't erase but you can add more on top. Thanks for the pens Sheila.<br />
<br />
Here are 4 more just for fun - Happy drawing everyone<br />

"Snow and Blowing Snow" Watercolour, 13.3 x 21.5 inches.<br />
<br />
Painted for the 2014 Sharing the View Calendar. This is a project organized by CBC, Information Morning, Halifax and Sydney Nova Scotia.<br />
All proceeds from calendar sales and the online auction of the 12 original paintings by 12 Nova Scotian artists are donated to Feed Nova Scotia. Calendars go on sale November 15 and the online auction begins. Check out the CBC info morning web site for details.<br />
<br />
I am thrilled to be part of this project and thought that i would share some of the process that went into making this painting.<br />

The people in my drawing class are doing a great job and I see so much development!<br />
A big Yahoo for all of you.<br />
<br />
This week we examined some of the challenges of working from photographs. These pictures of some of the demonstrations I did during the class, some of the prep work that I did before the class and my home work - the piece that I started during class and took home to finish. I know every one is working on their finished landscape drawing.<br />
<br />
The charcoal drawing of Reggie (above) was a demonstration of taking measurements, proportion and sight lines on a photo just the same way I do it when drawing from life. The difference is that the dog sits still in the photo.<br />

This charcoal landscape was done before the class. I did another similar one as a demonstration.<br />

There are a lot of interesting elements in this photo. I chose to focus on the shadow pattern on the oil tank. The windows and doors are another subject for another drawing.<br />

This is a very charming subject but the values need to be adjusted to make the elements make sense.<br />

Last is my "homework". I got as far as laying in the main value pattern in the class and made some changes and added the details and textures the next day.Louise Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18117716730714343199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156853184212884214.post-46795315798623606052013-09-17T18:01:00.000-03:002013-09-17T18:01:01.009-03:00Our first drawing class<br />

Sunday was our first drawing class and one of the exercises I asked the class to do is that old chestnut "drawing from an up side down image" to fool yourself into letting go of drawing what you think it is and just drawing what you see. One of the sources I used was a drawing by Hans Holbein the Younger. I made an ink tracing of his drawing for us to work from. I thought you might like to see what the original looked like. It is a lovely, sensitive work in chalk.<br />
Your home work this week is to practice contour drawings and try to do at least 20 minutes practice each day.<br />
Here is my 20 minute sketch made while I waited for an appointment.<br />

There is always more than just the feature shows going on at Swoon and Brandt can set up a great display of art any where in the house. The bathroom is a little gallery and is hung with some of my work. It is just off the main room where the farm show is hung. Drop in before the 28th if you can.<br />
