Day 18 - A Drawing a Day

Drawing On the Masters

I sometimes think there is nothing so delightful as drawing.

Vincent van Gogh

A Wheat Head, colored pencil and ink on toned paper, by Libby Kyer. "This is an unplanned drawing, I just happened across a specimen I had of a wheat head I found in Wisconsin last summer. Decided to just go for it, rather than plan anything. Sometimes, it's a neat treat to do that. It did mean I ended up with some of the wands running off the paper, but I decided I liked that too.
So, all in all, it was a good moment."

How About: Drawing spontaneously. Find a subject and go for it. You've been drawing for 17 days now, every day. Let those skills have their heads, and see what develops. Your passion is as important as your subject!

 



The incredible range of marks on paper that develop into drawings is truly inspiring in this volume. See what over 40 working artists put into their sketchbooks, with drawings and words.
