drawings

I don’t love drawing, and I often search for something to draw.  I do love loose expressive line and charcoal.  I wish that I had a habit of drawing in my practice.  It feels like a chore.  But I usually do get a payoff when I do draw.  When I come back to the sketch a day or two later, I am often pleasantly pleased.  I am inspired by those who commit to their drawing practice.  Do you have a regular drawing practice?  Do you enjoy it?  What do you draw?  Inspire me Please.

Perfect summer day is what they are telling me on the radio today.  I must go enjoy it then.  I am adding some new drawings to my mixed media prints.  I am using the drawing fluid method to make a screen of simple flowers.  I had the idea to draw with an eyedropper.  We did this in the faces 101 class that I took with Carla Sonheim a couple of weeks ago.  Here’s some directions from Dharma trading on the drawing fluid method.  This face was done with ink and eyedropper and a toilet paper blot.  So fun and free.

I just signed up for Faces 101 a week long drawing class.  I am a day late but I hope I can hop in and have some fun and be inspired.  I will start on my own until I get the links and things.  I will keep you posted.
