Homework for class: Ink Drawing
I started with simple, tiny, (2" X 4"),
02 Micron pen drawings (below)
But afterwards, I couldn't resist
making a color version. (above)
I love the feel of the ink line,
but one should not keep scribbling
on one's little drawing because one will be left with:
Only a black surface.
So, I continued scratching & hatching
on new versions.
(Above): minimal line.
I love it, but it takes restraint
to not keep going. And, so it is in life.
Learning to know when & how to stop,
or to move on to the next.
or to move on to the next.
Your white pitcher with blue flowers is lovely sitting within a blue cloth. I like it better with color than the black and white theme. The whole sketch is very rural in feeling to me. Nice -- barbara

ReplyDeleteI am of the "Ilove them all " school..
ReplyDeleteI would love to pen like you.and then add color like you.
I just love your sketches , but I'm glad you did one with colour.
ReplyDeleteI too would love to sketch a few squiggly lines in pen, add some colour and it look like your flowers in s jug.
I too have the problem of never knowing when to stop.
How come you can make a few lines and it looks like a masterpiece??
ReplyDeleteAh, yes! Restraint is important in life but, oh, so difficult at times! You are very talented and I love your drawing!
ReplyDeleteAnother life lesson from making art! Yes, restraint is often a good thing. Love your sketches, and especially the one in color--my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm drawn to that minimal line . . . and to the color version . . . xx
