Drawings from #drawingisfree today made by making an initial line drawing in charcoal OR dipping a stick into wet black acrylic then filling in with acrylic paint and brushes. Personally I think the stick approach works really well with the time pressure, you just have to get stuff down and move on.

My best drawings from #drawingisfree this morning. I am trying to draw with acrylic paints. I am finding I have to start with a charcoal drawing and then try to fill in the tones with colour. It’s the tones I am trying to catch with the paint, well the way the light modulates the form. It’s really hard to get right and the first two here are pretty strong in my opinion. When I catch something of the sitter it is very pleasing and feels like a special energy has passed through me and on to the paper. I am not sure how much the likeness matters, my feeling is that the best drawings express a presence. The paint is fairly hard to control and the colours tend to get muddied together as the tendency is to use the same brush dipped into different colours so they all start to intermix.
Drawings portray: Tünde Varga, Astrid Kahne Seefeld, Ingeborg and Annie

Three decent drawings out of about 13 from Mondays mornings #drawingisfree free online zoom fast portrait sessions. Working with charcoal and acrylics at the moment.

Here are my best from this mornings #drawingisfree session. All sorts of changes today, from a much bigger screen to working with acrylics and brushes then falling back on charcoal to build a structure with then painting in the light modulation.

10 days ino this cold or flu I decided to check out it isn’t Covid. It isn’t
Until this morning it felt like it was here to stay but then around lunchtime I gradually began to feel less cold and headachey and that normality was back in sight. I can’t wait
