Tea and Brushes 8 x 10" graphite and pastel on paper
The week before I launched this drawing a day blog, I did a test run to see how long it would take me to do each evenings drawing. The answer? Between and one and three hours. During the pre-blog testing, I drew various items around my studio, including brushes in a variety of containers. Now that I’m nearing the end of the first week and all ready at the point of running out of things to draw, I thought tonight I would love to do a full color pastel of those brushes. I love pastels, however, after the past four days of the comparative cleanliness of pencil, I am not sure I want to continue down this path. Well will have to see.
In about eight hours I’ll be at an easel at the Corcoran continuing with a charcoal nude study which will post on Sunday. Tomorrow afternoon I will be in Woodbridge, house painting – one last closet. Not quite the painting I would like to be doing but it’s for a great cause – the renting of my sister’s house. That said, I am looking forward to getting my weekends back and just in time for a four day portraiture extravaganza next weekend. More on that to come!
I wanted to thank everyone for the comments and messages. For those who have been asking, yes, I will be putting up a painting page. I am hoping that will be this weekend as well. Well see how long it takes : ) I have to go pack up my supplies, or as we say in the Conley home, get them “packaged and ready for transport.” My guess is were a bit more nerdy than we acknowledge.
