Sidewalk Studies #4
Guernville, California
Imperfect Practice
San Fran Skyline 3
Another house I started to sketch while waiting for my son to get out of school. Did a few pencil studies over a couple days, plus a couple in ink. Each time, got a better feel and understanding of the facade’s design. So much to learn by just paying close attention.

God bless this hand and its source of surprise…
Red Studies
Bought a small, hardback notebook with rainbow-colored page sections. Fine Japanese paper for only $1.50. Perfect for fast practice from photos to get past my fear of drawing figures.
The Naked Truth
Went to my first live-model session. Started off with crayons on scratch copy paper. Then drew with colored pencils and pastels on construction paper. Finished up with pen & ink and watercolor. The model was great and stood zen still for three hours. The other artists were warm and kind, the light in the room so generous and gentle.

May Day
On such a beautiful afternoon, there’s no better way to begin the month than chillin’ in the sunshine of my tiny San Fran yard. Just look at that urban view…
