One liner ...
My 'gallery day' was Friday during which I spent most of the afternoon out in the shade, reading and drawing.

Hmmm...you made me realize that I failed to communicate the time frame of one-line sketching, probably because in some of the sketches I presented, I "cheated" and took far more time than normal. The rationale behind one-line sketching is to keep the hand moving, quickly capturing a scene. It's goal is singular - to loosen up your hand and cause you to simplify (A LOT). Definitely a to-each-his-own but the exercise is more about creating a flowing, simple line to convey the "stuff" of the scene in a minute or maybe two, leaving out all the detail. It's a skill-building exercise, not a drawing method. I find it very frustrating to do it but it's helping me...I think :-)
ReplyDeleteIn any case, you have the patience of Job to draw all of that siding while pulling a single line. Didn't your brain hurt when you finished (grin)? --- Larry
Even so, I like your building
