Back and front of a geranium leaf, fountain pen; contour practice from life

At the Ruth Asawa show this weekend, the curator told me Asawa practiced blind contour drawing her whole life and even her huge and elaborate floral ink drawings were blind contour (always? Sometimes?). How could that be possible!? I decided to learn more about contour drawing and try it myself. This wasn’t pure blind contour and I did lift the pen, but I mostly looked at the leaf.

Exploring creating art from blind contour drawings. Inspired by my life drawing practice.
For some reason I like playing with coloured pencils when I'm recovering from COVID.
