A Drawing a Day (Tear-off Pads)

Product Information

There’s nothing like a consistent drawing practice to keep your creativity fired up, so make yourself do something in the realm of drawing every day. That doesn’t have to mean specifically putting pen or pencil to paper. Spending time reflecting and being visually present is important too. Take time for close observation. Make notes. That mental activity is also part of the drawing process. Ah more fun with personifying non-human things. Or this can be a dog dressed up in your t-shirt. 238.

Draw something that symbolizes a place you want to visit I’m particularly fond of domestic interiors so being at home provides me with time to give a whole day to work on something more ambitious, like a kitchen view or a dining table. There is a fascination about arrangements of objects collected in this way. The challenge of relating one item to another makes for an absorbing day’s work. Next choose a container – a favourite cup or mug, perhaps, or an interesting jug, basket or patterned bowl. Set things up by placing the surface on a table, the container on the surface, and the natural object in or around the container. Move the components around until you notice a grouping you like enough to paint. Looking through a viewfinder helps a great deal here – even just looking through a makeshift rectangle made from your thumbs and forefingers allows the eye to finalise a composition. Seeing through a frame helps you to choose a more interesting composition which may be off-centre or involve items being cropped.Flamingos are graceful birds most well known for their ability to balance on just one leg. 361.
