Welcome to Summer! 🌞
Changing your mind about a theme for the week is a good part of the idea as flexibility and creativity are cousins. Music was the planned theme first this week. Why change?
A documentary on YouTube, “Wyeth,” 2018 inspires me to select this week’s theme: Painting Subjects.
In art and writing, the high priority is to create what you know. The film set me to exploring how I chose subjects to paint. What do I know?
Flowing with the moment. Clutter comfort turns into a shop of painting subjects, so much to choose from. I would define myself as mainly landscape and abstract artist. Attention to still life will be an interesting path to follow this summer.
First Subject: A banana peel

Very nice post. I am interested in seeing how your banana peel art turns out. Have a nice day today.
ReplyDeleteNicole,
DeleteA quick acrylic sketch is the plan. Tomorrow’s subject will be something that
doesn’t have a shelf life. 🤣

You're right about that. How can we say "I don't have anything to draw" when we are surrounded by subjects?
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteDrawing daily depends on having a sketchbook handy just like a cell phone is handy. Skill improves with practice.

That's such a great photo to use as inspiration. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteFeeling better, I expect today there will be painting going on.

Daily practice makes for visible improvement. However, I usually quit after a few days, which accomplishes little. Yay for looking at the daily pieces of life like a banana skin to find beauty.
ReplyDeleteA quick sketch of the bananas I read in the above comment. How did it turn out? Did you have fun?
