WOYWW 823 Sketching and hobbling

Thanks for all your good wishes for my aunt. She’s now in a Dougie MacMillan hospice close to her home in Blurton, Stoke-on- Trent. I’d like to go up and see her but my blasted knee has given up again. I’ve been back to my physio for a cortisone jab and have had an x-ray as the first step in getting referred to the osteopathy specialist. 

So here’s my desk today, catching up with my sketching lessons. 

Adebanji has a good way of getting you to see shapes and lines. 

This drawing started off as squares, triangles and outlines of the negative shapes, made by the spaces between things. 

He always says it doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s a sketch. This alpine scene was one to copy rather than a tutorial, but it was enjoyable to work on. 

At art class we’re doing ink and watercolour wash of canal boats. I had far too much fun wafting a feather loaded with waterproof black ink to make tree reflections in the water (everyone else’s were very neat), and drawing various thicknesses of line with my Lumos pen. Anyway, I’ll see how it comes out tomorrow. 

I couldn’t resist this photo of Bella, who sends purrs to you all. 

And finally…

I’ll be back to visit after art class tomorrow. I’d be so glad if you can leave a comment when you visit.  As I mentioned last week, I’m not comfortable posting completely anonymous comments, so please sign any comment at the end (I don’t mind about Google shenanigans at the top. 😼

Happy WOYWW

Hugs
