It was a ton of fun to do and I didn't take it seriously, so it was okay my wonky drawings were so bad. I think this is also a great warm-up exercise for your classes and workshops.Watercolors by Susan Roperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15091873961431846148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471263212568793332.post-36994166440517325292008-12-05T09:06:00.000-05:002008-12-05T09:06:00.000-05:00Sandy!

I use the blind (or contour) drawing exercises always in my first class of each session. Everyone rolls their eyes but it's such a great exercise. The other great exercise comes in the second and third sessions when we all make drawings with our sub-dominate hands. The results are AMAZING.Suzanne McDermotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14785042270660883635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471263212568793332.post-14833588170335924262008-12-05T08:43:00.000-05:002008-12-05T08:43:00.000-05:00Beautiful, Sandy, and love the process you went th...Beautiful, Sandy, and love the process you went through to get to this - should try that myself but I know it would be more fun in a class with us all doing it! OK, that's my excuse.<BR/>They look more like onions because of the color, not the shape - perhaps some more deeper red here and there? I really like them.RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471263212568793332.post-6384200682891138112008-12-05T04:06:00.000-05:002008-12-05T04:06:00.000-05:00That was the first pomegranate you've ever had?

It's one of the best fruit, despite the mess and the stained fingers.<BR/><BR/>It's a fun painting - onions didn't come to mind at all.</I>Navahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03594536242955214557noreply@blogger.com
