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!
Deanna,

ReplyDeleteDeanna - you're right, birds are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI 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.

Welcome back, Deanna. I think I left you a comment on a few posts back earlier this morning. =)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
