I haven’t drawn in awhile. It’s fun to do this again. I think it’s easier to show chiaroscuro with watercolor than with the mechanical pencil. I’m going to try to upload some of my pictures.
It was easier to recognize detail when drawing from the photo. I didn’t draw to scale and looked up some detail about the bird. This was fun and I hope to learn to sketch faster so that I can draw and paint from experience in my back yard, my flowers, plants and bird feeders. Also, would like to slow down on walks and drives in the country to record the details. I write in a journal, and love to paint watercolor from photos, but have never drawn or painted from real life experience.
