![]() My travels brought me by one of my favorite spots today, the cascades on the Thousand Acre Brook (I looked it up, that’s the correct word – cascades; a series of small waterfalls over steep rocks). It was a lovely day and the bugs aren’t biting yet. I was thinking of using this scene for a large scratchboard, so I took a few pictures and then I sat down to draw for a while. I picked up this technique of smudging the pencil with my finger to get middle values from my life drawing sessions and I’m beginning to like it a lot.

Some of the best work I've done isn't hanging on a wall; it's sitting in a box in my closet that's full of my old sketch books. I fill up one or two books each year. Some of the sketches end up as a basis of a more formal work, but most don't. They’re more important to me as a pictorial diary and also as on-going training; learning to really see and to understand shape, light and color.
This blog is to share my sketches as well as my sketching experiences. Archives
