Today’s sketch

“Tiny baby”. This is collage/gesso/pencil and acrylic….I cut a hand shape out of a magazine and then I used gesso to “glue” it down. I brushed gesso over the top the collaged piece and then used pencil to pull out the details of the hand. Then I used acrylics to do the puppy. I have been trying to do collage for years the way Teesha Moore does collage and I just decided that I would occasionally incorporate it into my drawings.  

 

Sktchy #94

#sktchy30 Day 4 of 30, Day 94 for 2017…Spaces for art…..many of us started out with small spaces like this chair, to create art. Whether it was our parents kitchen tables, a corner of our childhood rooms, a dining room table…..

As adult women artists, many of us get married; we became moms and then grandmoms….. as our children leave the nest, we graduate to using our children’s former bedrooms as our creative space. For the younger women artists out there, cherish that small space as you work around toys and play dough. The time you have with your children is all too short.

Sketchy #92 – Relax and recharge

Today’s #sktchy30 was about relaxing and recharging your batteries.  There was some good info about how our brains need to recharge and I decided that I will probably start taking Sundays off from posting and technology.  Not sure if I want to start right away or wait until the end of the month.  There are five Sundays in April this year…..I’ll keep you posted.

Today’s sketch was done in my morning pages. I didn’t number it and I think I might upload this one to Procreate to tweak and use for other stuff.  It was inspired by the email that was sent this morning about relaxing and for some reason the hammock popped into my head.  And I found a Sktchy reference photo to go with it….the Karma all fit.

So take the advice and take today off….
