This is a work in progress for my virtual sketch date. It won't be finished on time, but this gives an idea what it will look like. This months reference comes from Sharon of Flat Sound of Wooden Clogs. The participants will be posted on Sunday on the sketch date blog.
I received an easel at Christmas time, the kind with paints and it folds up and you can carry it around. Well since I have never painted, I kind of ignored it. This week I decided to give it a try, thinking I wouldn't like it. Silly me! I love it! I had to improvise a little, I took the wooden pallet and locked it in like a canvas. Then put my paper on top of that. Now my drawing is ready to go all the time. I can work on it for two minutes or two hours then just walk away without worrying about putting it away.
Oh! I'm looking forward to this!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of buying an easel, so I could leave my work out, but I didn't know if it would be easy to use for coloured pencil, I thought it might be a bit too vertical? How are you using yours?
You are doing GREAT on this! Looking forward to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, this is looking lovely. I can see that it takes quite a bit longer with pencil, but even if you don't finish on time, I hope you will still show us the finished piece.
ReplyDeleteThis is coming on well Paulette. I can't wait to see the finished piece, it will be beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThis is interesting. Looking forward to the finish.....
ReplyDeleteThese petals are so graceful-like dancing in the breeze!
ReplyDeleteYour work in progress is off to a great start! Isn't it funny, just yesterday I said to my husband that I should go downstairs and get my tabletop easel that I got for Christmas two years ago...you have just inspired me to get up and get down there and get it before I do my homework that is due for my watercolor class today. Have a great artistic week and am looking forward to seeing the end results.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking great. Can't wait to see the finished piece.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to the finished piece - looks gorgeous so far
ReplyDeleteIt is very intriguing to see your process and progress. Lovely work. Such patience and dedication! Wow!
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for the wonderful encouragement!
ReplyDeleteI am going to post my updates along with a picture of my easel.
It has been wonderful to see all the different interpretations of the flower. I still have 5 or 6 of them to look at since my internet was being fussy.
I have been intrigued by these steps of a rendering.
