To update on my latest Life Drawings; I’ve been working last week on drawing only with my left hand.
And I’m not left-handed.
It’s so liberating – somehow, since I have less control of the charcoal the pictures come out much freer, and the effect is great.
You can see more Left-handed drawings here (just trying out the new “album” feature in blogger):
And this week I worked on not looking at the page while I was drawing.
It’s a totally different style than the left-handed thing, but also really great results.
I’m enjoying drawing so much! It’s giving me a completely different way of looking at things as well.
Here’s my final piece for this week – the model sat for 45 minutes for this one; the longest pose I’ve worked on. I love it because the style is so vastly different from my instinctive drawing, which is very timid. This is so bold and confident.

ReplyDeleteYou are getting really good at this aren't you? Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteFor who-knows-what-reason, I changed feed readers eons ago and you never made it over to the new one. And today I saw a link to you on someone else's blog and squealed.
ReplyDeleteAnywho, since last stalking your blog, I have dreaded my hair and my family sold, simplified and purchased an RV park in south Texas. We create community with whoever comes and goes along their own little journeys. It is HEAVEN!
And now you're back on my feed reader. Yea, joy!
:)
You got talent woman!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this wonderful blog.
You're very inspiring to me and my husband, we're thinking about unschooling our kids, when that day comes.
And you are doing a wonderful job with your daughter, gives us hope and courage to do it!
