With ongoing space constraints and a wide range of personal issues to contend with, I’ve had very little time for drawing/painting or so I thought until I was pr0mpted to sit myself down and sort out some kind of daily routine.
Much as I really want to concentrate on water colour, as I’m back to my dining room table, restricting myself to work in graphite will be easier to manage and an excellent opportunity to develop my line and tonal drawing skills.
Currently working on an orchid plant with just two leaves, a long budding stem and some debris from now deceased leaves. Quite pleased with how it’s developing but the sketchbook isnt suitable for this detailed type of graphite work and I’m surprised at how much I’ve used.
Mental note for when I next need to buy a sketchbook to spend a little more and skimp on the pennies a little less – my poor purse
