Gesture Drawing and Painting 10 29 13
Back in traditional media, here is some Gesture studies done in Charcoal.
Acrylic color Mixing, I think I got the right color there in the Edwards book, is amazing how important is quantity of each pigment at the time of combining them, bottom left is what I got when I over used orange and it turned again into orange, eating all yellow I have put on the mixing before.
Color Concept paintings, really fun to do and really quick!

Drawing my Kitchen
I have been planning to do this for ages. Or well, since the first time I saw Tommy Kanes klass while still preparing to launch the very first kourse of Sketchbook Skool, way back when.
So I drew my kitchen. First the rough directions in pencil, then I drew everything in pen and added details. It has been a pen drawing for a week or two, waiting for colour, while I filled up my next daily pages in my sketchbook.
Then finally I sat down and took out my watercolours. I hardly ever go back into a drawing to finish it, but this time I did, and I am so glad I did! Well spent drawing time, spent at my favorite place in the kitchen.
You can do this too. Its almost meditative. And very rewarding if you take the time for a drawing. If you want to learn from the master in slowing down and drawing details, Tommy Kane, go to Sketchbookskool.com and join the kourse "Beginnings". Its $99 and starts October 10.
You will also learn from Danny Gregory, Roz Stendahl, Jane LaFazio, Prashant Miranda, and me.

Its small things that make life worth drawing
I really believe in those small moments, a dash of colour, a wonderful taste, a smell or piece of music... These are all things that make life worth drawing.
Of course, drawing the things around you takes a little bit of practice. But thats the beauty of it: while you practice, youre living the moment even more.
And if you need a little help on learning techniques: well, just take a course.
What a coincidence: I am teaching one!
"Just Draw It!" is an online drawing course in which you learn various drawing techniques that will push your skills to the next level. For only $99 you will have access to the course website: I am there for you during 5 weeks, with videos, step-by-step instructions and tutorials, and personal feedback on everything you post on the course website. In a small group of classmates from all over the world, you will see your own work improve, as well as theirs, and learn from each other too.
We are starting TOMORROW, so click this link to enroll today!
