Sunday Sketches
>> Sunday, March 06, 2011
It's so nice to be sketching again and I'm so excited to be contributing to Sunday Sketches again! I love sketching birds. They're pretty easy to do and they're just so darned cute. I sketched this little one from an image I found on the web. I'm trying to work outside of the sketch books I have as it's easy to draw something that has step by step photos of how to add the shading and everything. I think it turned out pretty good. Much better than the last few things I tried sketching. I guess it's partly because I really love the subject and I'm not just doing it because it's one of the exercises in my books.
I found a really good watercolor book at the library so hopefully next Sunday I'll have something in color for you all!

This little bird is very cute. I like sketching birds too...welcome back
Good for you, putting the "book" aside! I love the little bird!
Deanna - you're right, birds are so cute!
I was so sorry to hear about your loss, my thoughts go out to you.
In terms of classes, you might like this one which starts soon - The Experimental Art Course by Amelia Critchlow. I've taken this before and loved it. It's all about letting go. It might be just what you need.

I love your bird. I have a recent new love of the shape of birds, I am not sure why. You captured this little lovely beautifully.
sweet drawing, the feathers lines has a nice texture and softness
I love your sketching - the still life below is great too - you are a little too critical of yourself. Can't wait to see next weeks!!!

Welcome back, Deanna. I think I left you a comment on a few posts back earlier this morning. =)
I love your sketch of this bird. Reminds me of the ones we had growing up - loved the morning songs they would whistle away. Comforting. =) Your artwork is truly amazing and I wish I had HALF the talent that you have.
Thank you for your encouraging words and comfort. Hugs
Oh, this is lovely! I'm partial to birds so I immediately loved it!
This bird is great... perfect for Spring!
Thank you so much for putting the Paint Party Friday button on your blog - I'm really excited about it & can't wait to see what you create (watercolors maybe?)
I'll add your link to the sidebar :)
