Sketching fun!

10/07/14

I had the pleasure of taking David Rankin’s one-day “5 minute faces” sketching class this past Saturday at the Euclid Art Association. He has enjoyed a wonderful career as an artist, teacher, traveler + his work reflects his enthusiasm for art + life! I  highly recommenced his workshops + classes.

It was a great class overall but what I loved most was learning the “recipe” to sketch peoples faces quickly. Its great to learn new techniques that enhance the creative process.

Shown here is one of the sketches I did using David’s 5 minute technique!

30 in 30 Painting Challenge – Days 27 – 30

10/07/14

So… I missed five days (yes, 5 whole days!) of painting for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge. What can I say, life just got in the way! I do believe that I will accept the challenge again + next time be more organized. I definitely felt the pressure to create something new + original everyday however, found myself trying techniques + painting subjects I have not tried before – which turned out to be one of the most rewarding benefits of the challenge.  I know I will also explore repainting some of the subjects (especially the figurative ones). Painting people has been something I have always avoided. Studying the human figure presents new challenges that I am now willing to accept. Maybe I’ll paint 30 portraits in 30 days… stay tuned…!
