The next sketches are leftovers from our sketchcrawl at Stumptown Annex. The first I drew from the window, looking out at Jane, who was more adventurous than I was on that rainy day.
And the last was done at Sunnyside Piazza, in one of the happiest neighborhoods in Portland.
I painted on site, but went over the pencil lines and colors at home, in the comfort of my dry house.
I think you have a gift for line drawings--these are great--very expressive in their simplicity!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Janene. It's so nice to hear from you! I hope you'll be able to join a sketchcrawl again. Maybe we should visit a place with plants for you to draw your wonderful botanicals.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Janene...those line drawings (as you call them) are powerful and beautiful! The simple use of color intensifies the impact too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you posted the outing on Belmont. It is always interesting to see other sketchers views and what we each select to draw. Esp. like the bright colors you have used in the Sunnyside Piazza....a bit of wishful?
Wow! Thank you so much, Deb. I guess all drawings are lines--but some of us use more than others, or (in your case) add some beautiful shading.
ReplyDeleteThe Native American sketches are outstanding. My favorite is the first one , Eagle Plume. I love the simplicity of your line work.
