I haven't posted any of the nudie drawings from the last two live model sessions since summer vacation ended and the group resumed. I want to keep an accurate record of my "progress" but it is hard when I look at the drawings and think they are crap. Although, the other day another member of the group let me borrow his pastel in a pencil, and I loved it! I can't go back to pencils anymore. Bad for my wallet, but who cares I guess.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I recently bought watercolors and have been experimenting. I have been pretty disappointed with the results... until tonight. I made two "works" that I finally feel comfortable with... of course they leave much to be desired, but having painted less than twenty or so watercolor paintings in my life, I can't really complain. I also had a few good sketches with the pastel.
(Apparently Awii doesn't think much of my work... she shat on it twice.)
I have some other photos from this weekend. Nothing so great, but my own sister finally looked at my site after six months, and she said she wanted more photos.
You can see Tomoe working on the bike, a little shack that had some cool artistic saw blade we noticed before we knew it was an "art town", and the beautiful lake there.
As I drew tonight I listened to The Connection where the host was talking to a woman, who is a Buddhist monk and had spent twelve months in a Himalayan cave, too small to even lie down, in the mountains meditating. At one point she describes her typical day. Basically she woke up at 3 am, meditated for three hours, had tea and bread, meditated more, had more tea, shoveled snow from the door, meditated, more tea, more meditation, and sleep. As good as that sounds when I feel like just running away from all responsibility and my to-do list, I can't imagine doing that for 10 days in a row, let alone 4,380!
