Still at it! Some days are harder than others for CED2010 and I ask myself if I am going to continue. Then an idea pops up and I continue. This week was a bit disjointed as a result.
Monday: Totally random - just decided to start with the CD circle and stopped halfway through and it turned into a sort of zen jellyfish!
Tuesday: I decided to go out to my garden for inspiration. My rock arabis are in bloom. How does one draw white on white paper? I tried some pastel pencils (chalky vs oily) and I think the flowers show up. Better if (double) clicked to enlarge.
Wednesday: My saucer magnolia bud in watercolour...
Thusday: I was going to try to draw my forget-me-nots but they called to be zen doodled instead...
Friday: One of those blank days with no ideas so I decided to try to draw the figure on my new CED2010 book - one of Rodin's sketches...
Saturday: Another blank thought when I pulled my book out. I bought an extra pastel - beige and it is so smooth - but I haven't had a reason to use it. So I was thinking - what could I do that would use that pastel? Sitting on my desk (don't ask me why, I'm not exactly sure but every time I look at him, he makes me smile) is a troll. He's that colour! So here is my pastelled troll. (Even with my meager attempt, a picture of him makes me smile too!)
Sunday: I took a few thing outside to the deck and while I was looking at the budding trees, this came together...
I got back to my exercise routine, continued work on my fake journal (still finding that an unusual and fascinating experience) and did my first attempt at a self-portrait for Sunday Sketches. And spent time looking through all your amazing work (though not commenting much - sorry).
So that was my week. How was yours?
I'm thinking of trying something different this week. Drawing the same thing a variety of different ways - pastel, watercolour, sketch and styles - realistic, abstract, zen doodled, etc. I debating between my saucer magnolia or the front view of my house. Which do you think I should try? Please "vote" in the comments!
And - will you join me in this experiment? Thanks!
EVA
such a beautiful and fun week you have had! I love your troll and would have to draw him as well!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a breadth of skills ... it is amazing to see the variety of medium you work in ... i think the idea of one subject in different forms is an excellent experiment. I guess I am partial to plants and vote for the magnolia.
Hi Eva!
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing all your art this week, looks like youve been a busy bee!
Your experiment sounds interesting too, cant wait to see the outcome! :-)
How cool! I love your artistic adventures.
ReplyDeleteI vote for the front of your house, because I saw someone who did all doors as a challenge. Each day of the week she did it in a different medium. The first was photos, the second was collage, the third was pen and ink and so forth. It turned out really interesting.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI love the zentangles, as always. What an interesting idea to draw the same thing all week in various ways. I may give it a try.
Wow, a creation a day. You are very dedicated. I love the drawings!
