Banjo

Went to Story Slam at the lawrence arts center last night - drew the banjo player who went on before the story tellers. Such a lovely evening. 

Bench

Was really not feeling it today - but I have a series of paintings brewing in my head that involve castle-like interiors - so at Tony's violin lesson I drew the legs of the teacher's ornate bench. I need to eventually start thinking about composition before I start - but not today. Today I was just doing well to get out a pencil

Planning

Sketches for a painting series I'm working on for an upcoming show. I can tell that my daily drawing practice is paying off - it's so much easier to now to sketch what I want my paintings to look like. And really - improving my paintings is the main point to all this. 

Grinder's

Tree

The weather is gorgeous! So nice to get outside to draw again!

Auto parts

I'm subbing high school auto tech today. I had no idea this even existed. These kids are hilarious sitting around bs-ing about cars all hour. Forgot my sketch book today! But the teacher had a stash of lovely blue pencils in his desk. And this random car part on his desk.  Thermostat thing? Who knows :)

Middle school figure studies

Taught middle school art today - and the class was doing figure sketching!! Kids took turns standing on the tables for 10 minutes while the class drew them - so I joined in for a few. 

Working in an old sketch

I penciled in these people quickly at fric and frac weeks ago. Never finished the drawing. So today I added fric details in from memory. It's a strange picture now. I kinda like it :)

Ergonomics

Subbing high school business education today. I still find the sight of kids sitting at a computer desk with a laptop on their laps and a smart phone in their pockets to be kinda mind boggling. But that's cuz im old :)
