This One Makes Me Smile

Another Friday morning in "France"... 😉 aka. downtown Kernersville, I was on my own this particular day so I chose a view I might not have done had there been others with me.  This is looking into the courtyard of the Factory where the fountain is, the lamp posts and iron bridges, and the little … Continue reading This One Makes Me Smile

Rhodos As High As…

Directly behind our house is a rhododendron bush. It's blooming like crazy right now! It's huge...reaching up beyond our high back deck.  As I sat in the yard to draw it, I kept humming and thinking: The rhodo's as high as an elephant's eye...and it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky! Well, … Continue reading Rhodos As High As…

Dejà Vu!

As I drew the beautiful fountain in the center of the Factory Courtyard, downtown Kernersville, I was struck by a sense of dejà vu! I had been there before drawing this very fountain!  Sure enough, I later found in a sketchbook from 3 years ago, several drawings made right here, one of the fountain and … Continue reading Dejà Vu!

It’s Not About the Drawings

Friday mornings are fast becoming a favorite part of my week.  A few artist friends and I are meeting up downtown K'ville to draw/sketch/paint our little town.  As I mentioned in this post, I feel like I've stepped into a little slice of France...or England, or Italy... and I'm giddy to be getting it down … Continue reading It’s Not About the Drawings

Thick & Thin

I love to play around with the thickness (and thinness) of pen lines.  I like to see how changing the pen line thickness within the same drawing adds a sense of depth or highlights the main subject or.... It's totally fun! Try this:  Choose a thick line pen (I like a size 08 fineliner) for … Continue reading Thick & Thin

Drawing with Others

Another "baby step" to re-discovering my "job" or calling to draw my life and encourage others to do so as well, has been to join up with a drawing group again.  Ideally, my desire is to start one here in my town of Kernersville.  For many years, I drew with a group in the neighboring … Continue reading Drawing with Others
