AEDM - Lisa Congdon inspired
This page was inspired from an exercise in the Lisa Congdon class - More Sketchbook Explorations. I love watching her draw - she makes it look so easy - then you try and the easy part turns out to not be that easy after all.

Insect tragedies. . .
It has been nearly a month since I've last posted - summer is really busy and my free time is nearly nonexistent. Not sure what prompted that weird bug to be the item that breaks my slump - go figure!
How has summer been treating you?

The Huns have taken over. . .
Have you used gouache much? I see amazing work done with it but my limited exposure hadn't impressed me much. However, a great deal on a Turner Acryl Gouache Set (V17678) from Jerry's Artarama caught my eye so I took a chance.
In all reality it was the set of 120 mixing cards that intrigued me the most - loved the idea of having an easy reference for color mixing. I'm so happy with this purchase - love the creamy consistency of the paint and how matte and opaque the paint is - completely covers pencil marks like a charm!
The fabulous blue hair is courtesy of Ultramarine Blue Color Burst by Ken Oliver. There are more colors coming soon - can't wait to play with them!

29 Faces - last minute things
Not sure why but this girl is my favorite of this month so far - her mouth is crooked but it makes me happy. Watercolor and graphite.
Check out all the fun with 29 Faces!

"Silence your mind. Pick up your pencil and draw."
"Silence your mind. Pick up your pencil and draw."
- Pinterest
We had such a nice weekend with family in from Mississippi. No stress - just visiting and catching up with each other. Those are the best visits aren't they? While we sat chatting in the living room last night I sketched a girl in ink but since we were visiting so long I tried out some shading with graphite and I'm pretty happy with how she turned out - her eyes are a bit wonky (as always) but my younger son said, "Finally, you made a girl that is pretty."
Brutally honest but I'll take that as a compliment!
