[the occasional] Dumb Sketch
Backing away from the daily sketching of 2015, to observe more slowly and acutely.
Da Vinci: Study for Madonna with the Yarnwinder–#108
I liked Jane Hannah’s live sketch: I thought she used very spare lines and still communicated quite a lot. Jane steered me toward Da Vinci, and I became amazed all over again.
It was fun to have a pencil in my hand again.

Yes you can learn a lot really looking at great art. And drawing it forces you to look closely. Nicely done.

It is really fun to draw what these old master did. I learn so much just trying to match it. I may do more. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks for saying so. I honestly cannot see much improvement–feels like I’m still stuck in the old grade school way of seeing and drawing. But thanks.
