I'm back!....I've been away with my family for a week, to Kings Beach on the Sunshine Coast. Just lovely...beautifull warm sunny days...we had a great time.
I wasn't going to take my 'sketch pad', but I couldn't help myself. I've become very inspired by all my 'fellow bloggers'....so many of you are outdoors painting and sketching. I've done 'life drawing' sessions but not much 'outdoor' painting and drawing.
It certainly was a challenge....why won't 'people' stand still! Only joking...I had to learn to draw very fast, simple strokes and lines. In the end I just treated it like the quick 10seconds warm-up sketches we would do in 'life drawing'.
They were a 'bit of fun', and it was interesting drawing all the different body shapes... from children to adults.
It's always fun to 'discover' new artists. Your work is absolutely beautiful! Good luck with the teaching, I'm sure your students will be inspired!
ReplyDeleteThe sketches are wonderful. Where would you have to go for warmer weather when you already live in Queensland?
ReplyDeleteI love this painting. Is the focal child yours?
The sketches are lovely too. My favourite is of the larger lady on the left. Kay
Love these gestures - really great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana...I was really pleased to discover your blog too. I love your work....especially the 'figurative'. I really like the one posted 24th May 09 'Summer Friends'- it's the sort of scene I enjoy painting. Thanks for the feedback and encouragement..hope to chat again soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Connie...It was a lot of fun...time just flew...
ReplyDeleteHi Kay-(Magicmyst)
ReplyDeleteWe didn't travel far...Kings Beach is only 3/4 of an hour from home...but it was still lovely. Just to be away from home was very relaxing. We are lucky, our weather is gorgeous, but the water was still a bit too chilly for me...not for the kids though, couldn't keep them out! My daughter is in the 2 photos I posted....I didn't get to sketch my own kids much...they never kept still!
