Today’s challenge involved drawing something silver. I started out thinking about doing a still life of some silverware but to me it was just to static. I enjoy movement or color in the paintings I create so I moved on and did a doodle entitled “Silver Goblet and Pink Flower. My wife told me it looked more like a wine glass so when you look at it envision a goblet. Not the fancy kind but like the one you get out on a lazy Sunday afternoon to have a sip of wine.
A little offering,”Little Blue Bird,” done in ink and acrylic on an old book page. I like the pop of color in this piece but if I did it all over again I would make the bird a little more transparent so the words on the page bleed through.
A mixture of pen, water color pencils and acrylics on water color paper.
Drawing done with a 3h and HB pencil. I am still trying to perfect my skills with drawing portraits. There are aspects of the picture I like, the purposely big eyes but there are also aspects which I would render differently, like the angle of the nose.
Most of the time my art is a mixture of whim & whit. In other odds I go where my the art leads. This piece is one of my whims. It is watered down ink on white drawing paper.
Today’s offering is a mixture of pen&ink, watercolor pencil and colored pencil on a white paper.
Check back in 2017 for my Daily Drawing Challenge. Each day I will post a new drawing or painting In my blog. I am taking up the challenge in order to help me become a better artist. I encourage you to do the same.
