I have been admiring your ink sketches at the EDiM fb group and just wanted to stop in here to tell you how deeply your drawings speak to me. Even the most pedestrian subjects come alive through your artful composition and expressive line and shading. You inspire me to persevere in ink. It is always tempting to splash a bit of color on the page and call it good. So much more can be expressed in shades of grey. Thank you for sharing your beautiful sketches!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, Thank you for your warm words, and for bringing me encouragement also! I have in turn been inspired by the great variety of vantage points, styles, and personalities of drawings out there on fb and am grateful that I have found this opportunity. Only a few more days to go...!
DeleteFor the longest time I drew only with line, but a whole world of new subject matter opened up to me when I started using watercolour washes. But my foundations lie in the character of the line... something my father taught me.
