6/16/2024 0 Comments Happy with my progress....   More practice with my sketching. Still see where improvement is needed but for someone who thought I couldn't draw anything other than flowers I'm quite happy with my progress. Not sure if I'm going to add color to these so for now they will remain as they are.

6/13/2024 0 Comments The practice continues....  I am continuing to practice my sketching. I go onto Pixabay and find a picture that interests me then try to sketch it. It's great practice and I can see where the improvement needs to be focused on when I put the original along side my sketch. Not sure where my preference lays but I seem to enjoy doing buildings.
#sketching #loosedrawing #urbansketching #myrockpaperart #iamanartist #linedrawing #loosewatercolor    Back to practicing my sketching. Of course that means accepting what is created and then learning from it. I can see that I have a long way to go but at least I am trying and improving each time. I need a lot of improvement on the proportions. I was using my sketch book and then decided to add some watercolor - the paper was not the right quality to use watercolor on - oh well as I said it's just practice.

Seems I'm drawn to sketching buildings. For now I'm practicing with pictures I'm finding on Pixabay. I like putting the original picture with my attempts because it really helps me to see where I need more improvement. In the moment of doing the drawing I don't always see the issues but afterwards I can reflect on it and see where I need to improve things. I'm thinking at some point I would like to take my finished picture, like this one, and seeing what I see needs to be improved, use this picture as a reference to draw the same thing again. It would be interesting to see if I'm able to do a better rendition of it the second time around. But that will be down the road sometime when I find I'm wanting to do art but not feeling inspired by anything.
Perhaps eventually I'll be able to take a sketch pad around the village and sit and draw what I see. That's the whole reason I'm working on improving my skill because I would love to create some sketched greeting cards of our village. #sketching #loosedrawing #urbansketching #myrockpaperart #iamanartist #linedrawing #loosewatercolor   Today's lesson was about learning and understanding the use of negative space. It teaches me to understand how the picture can look different depending on what I'm using the color to put emphasis on.

Still practicing my sketching. The drawing is very loose and very undetailed because I'm learning to let go. As I get more comfortable with sketching maybe I'll get a little more detailed with my buildings but for now just a rudimentary church and the impression of trees is what I was going for. It's so hard for me just to let go that I'm going to the extreme for now and I will rein it in as I get more comfortable with sketching. #sketching #loosedrawing #urbansketching #myrockpaperart #iamanartist #linedrawing #loosewatercolor #tobysketchloose #tobyurbansketch 4/19/2024 0 Comments Practicing my sketching.... Back to practicing my sketching with @Tobysketchloose also known as @TobyUrbansketch. I'm following one of his free online courses just to help me loosen up and learn how to sketch. I do a lot of different art but sketching hasn't been one of them so far. I want to learn so that if I'm out and about and I have a little sketch pad with me I can just quickly sketch what I see. This isn't something that I've tried before and it's something that I didn't think I could do so I am now learning to do it. It's really a matter of training the eye to look at things differently and training the brain to see it differently.
I was reading something another artist wrote and he said that if you turn the picture you want to draw upside down, let's say a shoe for example, then your brain, instead of seeing a shoe, will see the angles and lines involved in the shoe. Apparently this trains your brain to see things not as their actual thing but as the parts that makes up the thing. #sketching #loosedrawing #urbansketching #myrockpaperart #iamanartist #linedrawing #loosewatercolor #tobysketchloose #tobyurbansketch 3/20/2024 0 Comments Practicing my sketching....Practicing my loose urban sketching. Took a few liberties with the photo then finished it off with some water color painting. I love going onto pixabay to find images that inspire me to draw them. #sketching #loosedrawing #urbansketching #myrockpaperart #iamanartist #linedrawing #loosewatercolor    Adding a new creativity to my list. I have been very inspired by my friend @bonny.watkins as she ventured into loose urban sketching so I've decided to try my hand at it. Looking forward to improving my skill but am happy with my first attempts. I always thought it would be fun just to be able to sit down, pull out a pencil and paper and draw what I see around me. As of right now it's not something I do but I'm starting to work on it.
